I am a little pissed and I need to write about this while I am fired up!
Apparently there is some recent controversy over the online encyclopedia website wikipedia.org for showing pictorial representations of Muhammad in their entry for the Islamic faith. Check out this short New York Times Article. The article cites over 80,000 people (over 100,000 at the time I wrote this) have signed a petition for removal of images... most remaining anonymous. Pictorial representations of the Prophet Muhammad are forbidden in the religion of Islam
Wikipedia has politely refused to give in to political correctness in this case because they are a neutral unbiased organization that does not give into specific requests from specific groups.
My response...
GOOD!
The last time I checked... Muslims do not run the world (thank goodness) nor do they control the imagery that all other people are allowed to look at. This may be against your [Islam's] religious beliefs but not necessarily those of the rest of the world. Political correctness is going to destroy us if we let it get out of hand. WIKIPEDIA... DO NOT GIVE IN! STICK TO YOUR GUNS ON THIS DECISION!
