Hmm, well ar.wikipedia (who probably have a large number of muslim
editors) does have an image hiding template; apparently adequate for
their needs.  They introduced it to a very small number of pages, but
that number has halved over time. 

AFAICT The people who are pushing for filtering are mostly from what we
traditionally regard as being the West.
