"The demand" was signed by 200.000 people. What about the millions who would appreciate, if we'd give them a chance to follow their customs?
Until now, Wikipedia has always been written for the general public, not for a specific subsection of them, not even if that subsection consisted of millions.
Most visibly, until now, we don't censor Wikipedia for children (and there are a lot more of them than Muslims, at least English speaking). We've always said that if you think that our product contains inappropriate content for that group, fork it!
I don't see any reason that this wouldn't be the proper response in this case as well.
Why demand a fork, if we could easily avoid it? The same mechanism could certainly be used to filter inappropriate content for children as well.
