Well, no, that's demonstrably not true.
It would be more accurate to say that wikipedia varies widely in quality.

No, of course they shouldn't take down depictions of Muhammad.
Unless I'm mistaken, the rule about not being allowed to depict Muhammad applies only to Muslims.
They overstep their bounds by wanting to force the whole world to abide by their particular religious rules.

Your depiction of Muslims is too broad.
I have personally known several Muslims that don't fit your definition at all.
Would it be OK if we depicted all Christians as though they all believed as the Jehovah's Witnesses, or the Mormons?
Both sects believe some pretty out-there stuff.

Even your friendly neighborhood muslim is subject to the koran. If he has detached himself from it, he is no longer muslim. If he is subject to the koran, he will do as the koran tells him do. That's broad, because it includes all muslims.
So, the Jews are commanded by the Torah to stone disobedient children and adulterers to death.
Are you saying that any Jew that does not follow this directive is no longer a Jew?
And who died and made you the Grand Arbiter of who may call themselves a Muslim, or a Christian?
