Thank you for pointing out that distinction. Back on this issue: Anti-Islam bias (regardless of whether it's systematic or systemic) results in one-sided articles on certain topics, which is IMHO derogatory to an encyclopedia. And putting the JP cartoons in the article increases systemic bias by driving away muslim editors.
But suppressing some content that's otherwise relevant simply because it offends some particular group and thus drives them away, is itself a form of one-sidedness, in which the group with the thinnest skin about such things gets to dictate the content and tone of the related articles.
I have agreed to the linkimage compromise long time ago. IMHO it is neither necessary nor favourable to suppress the cartoons. But it is necessary to show respect by accepting a compromise (i.e. a linkimage template).
