The first link goes to the "depictions of Muhammad" article, which
includes all kinds of images and not just obviously offensive ones.
The idea of banning images of Muhammad is not limited to just this
template on Aceh Wikipedia - they didn't invent it, it's an article of
Islamic faith that *all* images of Muhammad are prohibited. On the
English Wikipedia there have been many, many debates (and protests,
boycotts, online petitions, etc.) about whether and how the
[[Muhammad]] article should be illustrated with images of its subject.
