For no reason, Xavexgoem
protected the Muhammad RFC "to avoid SPIs", which is not a valid reason for semi-protection.
What else does Xavexgoem have on his record?
It has nothing to do with Xavexgoem.
The WMF controversial content study recommended that the image discussion be limited to registered users, as the subject area has had a history of insipid "REMOVE IMAGES THEY OFFEND MEEEEEEE!" retardation from IPs and single-purpose-accounts over the years.
In any case they can always register and wait the 5 days. The RFC isn't over until April 19th.
One thing I do find surprising, especially with regard to the arguments for hat notes and collapsing what-nots, is that no-one has hit on the fact that the problem isn't with Moslems seeing the images, it's the fact that they are there and they exist, regardless of whether they can see them or not.
