Blasphemy: Muslims enraged at Wikipedia


So far, 83,000+ Muslims have signed a petition asking Wikipedia to "respect other people's religion" by removing pictures of Muhammad from his Wikipedia entry.

The petition reads:
Target: To tell wikipedia editors to respect other peoples religion
Sponsored by: Faraz Ahmad
In Islam pictures or Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and other holly figures are not allowed, but on wikipedia they has published some pictures that are showing not only a body with white face but an image that has a complete face.. that is even not allowed by SHITAT fact of Islam.
i request all my brothers and sisters to sign this petition so we can tell wikipedia to remove them.
