Muslims want to remove the pictures of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) from the wikipea website, Walakira Nyanzi writes.

The WIKIPEDIA site has published the image of their beloved Prophet Muhammad (swaleh aleh wa salama. The Muslims believe that no physical representation of Prophet Mohammad should ever be made.

Sheikh Muzata Bate, a member of the breakaway Muslim faction based at Kibuli Mosque says that the reason Muslims don’t want pictures of prophet Mohammad printed is that it could well lead to idolatry.

The Muslim brothers and sisters are currently mobilizing Muslims on facebook to sign on the petition to have the picture of Prophet Mohammed removed.

They need 10,000 signatures to get pictures of the Prophet removed from WIKIPEDIA. Sources in the Muslim community in Uganda told our news desk that they petitioned wikipedea sometimes back but the pictures of Prophet Mohammed are still on the wikipedea website. The Muslims who want to sign on the petition should visit http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/removal-of-the-pics-of-muhammad-from-wikipedia 1.

The controversial information our reporters have got is that so far some of the people who have signed on the petition include non-Muslims. And another unfortunate thing is that the Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje has not yet signed on the petition despite the fact that he is aware of the whole programme and agenda.
