All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part VII

[GethN7]

I've done some research on this... Of the two major branches of Islam, Shi'a forbids depictions of any intelligent being, including God and the Prophet. Sunni Islam has no problem with depictions of Muhammad (and, according to Wikipedia, they're not rare in Iran.)

That said, I think we should continue with the current policy:

• There's no reason to knowingly insult somebody, even if somebody else doesn't see it as an insult.
  
• Adding an image to the article does not enhance the article.
  
• Freedom of speech includes freedom to remain silent, so there's no moral position taken if we either do or do not add an image.
  
• Least importantly, the mod team doesn't have time to deal with the complaints we'd get if we did include an image.

We're getting 503s on Miraheze again.

First, thanks for the research, and I agree on policy.

Also, checked, Miraheze has some database issues, currently working on it.
