Muslims respect all other religions and their holly figures and expect the same from others.But it is always painful and hurting, when we experience others not caring our religious feelings. In Islam images/pictures of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and other holly figures are not allowed.But on Wikipedia they have published some pictures of our beloved prophet(PBUH). We want Wikipedia to remove these pictures from their websites ASAP.Specially some particular images that can arise anger and hatred in Muslims against them. These websites are mentioned below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depictions_of_Muhammad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Maome.jpg Pig_person.jpg;Mohammed_kaaba_1315.jpg

My family is deeply hurt by these images. Wikipedia should know better than to keep stuff like this public.

Wikipedia needs to do the right thing for once. Stop mocking our faith.

Ridiculous that this is still up. Show some common decency and delete these pictures.

This is very disrespectful to all Muslims. Please have some respect for our religion and take these down immediately.

Total lack of respect. Nobody has the right to draw him.
