[Foundation-l] Boycott in ace at wiki

+1. While I think there are many good arguments against inclusion of
images of Muhammad in Wikipedia, the "false" or "unreliable" does not
seem to be such an argument. We have plenty of images of Jesus and
lots of other famous people of whom we have no photographic or
_primary_ artistic sources...

Also, what's with the venom in some of the posts here?
