Three more cheers for wikipedia
You might remember two years ago China wanted Wikipedia to censor politically sensitive sites and wikipedia told them to take a flying leap.
At the time we said this:
Wikipedia has its faults, but apparently lack of guts or honor is not among them.
Well it looks like their guts haven't decreased over time as groups have demanded removal of images of Muhammad from the entry on the founder of Islam.
Wikipedia being wikipedia had this to say:
Please note that discussion on this talk page has determined that pictures of Muhammad will not be removed from this article and any removal of the pictures without discussion here first will be reverted on sight. If you wish to discuss the inclusion of pictures in the article, please read over previous discussions here, here, and here and the Muhammad article FAQ at this page.
Fearless internet speech, gotta love it.
