As-Salaamu Alakum Brothers and Sisters

 

Sorry if I have posted this thread in the wrong place-(I�m new).

 

The purpose of this thread is to let all my muslim brothers and sisters know that Wikipedia has a picture of HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (S.A.W) so please go on this link to sign up the petition to remove the pictures. We need 10000 signatures to remove it.  We �currently� have 4300 www.thepetitionsite.com/2/removal-of-the-pics-of-muhammad-fr om-wikipedia

                   

As some brothrs and sisters know that In Islam picture of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and other Humans are not allowed. But Wikipedia editors are showing illustrations with face illustrated and face is veiled or white washed. But still they are offensive to Muslims. I request all brothers and sisters to sign this petitions so we can tell Wikipedia to respect the religion and remove the illustrations.

We should also post the same topic on other forums too and those of us who sign the petition should reply on this thread this will help the thread to remain on the front page.

    My request to moderators is to make it sticky.

ASA Sr and br,

JazakAllahuKhair for the post if you check the archives Insha'Allah I believe in the general section there was already a thread for this that another br posted with links to a  petition that you can sign. All you have to do is comment on that thread and I believe it will come back to the front page. You can also ask a moderator to combine this with that thread if possible. But I don't know if it would be a good thing to post it in every section it would be better to keep the interest on one main thread.

JazakAllahuKhair

The internet is the greatest paradox the US have created, think of any thing and it is there; it is full of good and evil. The porn industry has had major investment in it's expansion and use. Then came Google and now nothing escapes it even this discussion; it is bigger than big brother created by the relentless Race

You have a bone to pick with Wiki image here what about Google images. There are more images there than Wiki! Did you know who drew the images originally? The Muslims!
I reckon you are a Sunni Muslims so have an uphill battle in this arena, there are countless images made by Muslims themselves; if you visit Iran probably you could buy lots of them from the hawkers particularly set of the holy family per the shiits!
No body has control over this crazy cyberspace not even the original creators!

No I did not know who draw the images originally! However, I do know that it was a evil man from Denmark (not a muslim) tried to drew our beloved prophet Mohammad (peace and blessing be up on him) and I do not for a minute believe a true muslim could draw those pictures.

Zanab....

The Wikipedia article on Muhammed has classical examples of art from the Middle East and Ottoman Empire.  Those were not done by Danish Cartoonists.  Also, Wikipedia is edited by the users.  So even petitioning for htem to be removed could get them placed back onto the article later.

There is a big different between an insulting cartoon of a bomb for a turban and an illustration of an important historical figure.

I fully understand that Wikipedia is an open source, and therefore if they are removed they could be placed back again on the site.  However, being a muslim it is our duty to respect and protect our beloved prophet. 

 

In Islam pictures of living things are forbidden to draw, for this reason I do believe that regardless of what the picture is trying to illustrate no body should have the right to put those pictures online.
