Err, this isn't really true. There are a number

negotiation (for instance, they'll remain on commons (where there are
currently at least 37 historic images of Muhammad)) the various levels
of exposure can be addressed more to people's satisfactions. For
instance, someone genuinely offended by the images who nonetheless
wants to work on/read the Wikipedia article can use the solutions
offered there.
So you suggest rejecting out of hand demands that such images be
removed from entirely?
