 I cannot find this discussion in the archives, so I'm copying it from history now. /X 

 == Please remove all the pictures that contain any cartoon or shape of human, because its not accepted by Islam. == 

 Islam does not allow pictures or cartoon of Muhammad or any persons so remove it for make this article acceped to the Muslims.    
 :Request declined. This is not Islamopedia.  ''  

 ::Baseball Bugs, dude you're not in charge of Wikipedia, this is a legitamite statement. Anyway to the original poster, it has been decided that on consensus, regretfully, that the pictures are allowed. Baseball Bugs, next time give evidence to back up you're view instead of saying ""request declined""''.   

 :::No, he should not, and I would not have either.  It is the same, tired, stupid 'request' that gets posted here ever month or so.  These demands are not being made in good faith, they are not here with any intent, ability, or desire to improve the Wikipedia.  They are here to push an agenda, and are dealt with brusquely and appropriately.  My preference would be to go even further, and simply revert the 'request' and not have to waste time with this.    

 ::::You're right. I actually cut him too much slack. I will do as you suggest, next time. )  ''''  

 :::I think the gigabyte or so of archived discussion where it has been made abundantly clear that we have no interest in changing our rules to suit religious thinking is more than enough evidence to support Baseball Bugs' view.  As he says, this is not Islamopedia, and quite frankly, the opinion of Islam is completely irrelevant.   
 ::::Baseball Bugs response was fine. I doubt that all those who make these requests come here in bad faith; I'm sure that there are many Muslims who just happen to stumble across this page, and voice their opinion without reading the templates which head this page. Baseball Bugs gave a succinct answer to a question that has driven many of those involved in this dispute to much worse actions.   
 :::::And since when does Islam forbid pictures ""of any persons""? That would come as a shock to Al Jazeera, for example.  ''''  

 I was merely stating you lack of behaviour towards other editors. You have to be nice when talking to people otherwise you sound quite pompous. Ridiculous, really. I have nothing against the images, just the behaviour of a few editors. Use the archives to support your view Baseball Bugs - that is what they there for. A bit of politeness goes a long way. Also the original poster I have never really read in the Qu'ran where the images are prohibited. I have been trying to find out but it's just in Arab culture not to display the images of honourbale people.     
 == The Picture of The Prophet (SWS) should be removed == 

 Dear readers and authors, 

 I advocate the removal of the picture of Muhammad (sws) from this article. It against the teachings of the Islamic faith to produce paintings of human beings. This ruling is especially the case for Muhammad (sws) or any other Prophet of God. Muslims will find this painting offensive and innappropriate. 

 No doubt, some may question this proposal in the name of free speech or a right of liberty of some sort. These views are respected and should be upheld within the appropriate context. However, in the context of pictures of religous Islamic figures, they will always take a lesser importance to the law I have mentioned above. This is a standing held by Islamic Scholarship. 

 Therefore in repect of Muslims, Islam, and Muhammad himself (sws), I request the removal of this photo from the article. I am otherwis
