Fred, how about you write an article about Baby Jesus Butt Plugs, and
then you can try to justify the importance of including images of them
in the article about Jesus.

If you haven't noticed, the images of Muhammad on the core articles
relating to Islam are not created by someone who had a bit too much
free time on their hands.  The images of Muhammad that we use are
images of an object which is held in a university library or museum,
_because_they_are_important_.
