::: As a practical matter, touching on topics of high current interest (even if they're politically motivated) in a NPOV way seems to ward off vandalism by POV warriors. Frex, since the Muhammad article is now linked to Muhammad's marriages, Muhammad as warrior, and Aisha, there are a lot fewer people trying to insert "He was a pedophile! a murderer! a sex maniac!" in the main Muhammad article.  

 ::: I think we have to distinguish between people seeing that something is not-quite-right, and their proposed fixes for it. The perception may be defensible, the fixes may be atrocious. We see this with Urchid and the Muhammad article  I think I finally got his point, as badly as he expressed it  but his fix just doesn't work. In the case of this article, we have people who are afraid of Islam, and don't know much about it, proposing all sorts of POV edits. Their solutions may be unacceptable, but their concerns should be addressed.   

 ::: So yes, if there were a sizable number of people who believed that Islam worships a moon god, we should address the issue in a NPOV way.
