Muslim Wikipedians who do not object to images of Muhammad are in the
same position as Western users. They know there are no authentic images;
they know it is extremely offensive to millions of people. They should
have common sense and not put images up in a reference work which are
both offensive and false.

There might be an exception for Persian art, but such images certainly
don't belong in an article on Muhammad or Islam in any language.
