Muslim Wikipedians who do not object to images of Muhammad are in the same position as Western users. They know there are no authentic images; they know it is extremely offensive to millions of people. They should have common sense and not put images up in a reference work which are both offensive and false. There might be an exception for Persian art, but such images certainly don't belong in an article on Muhammad or Islam in any language.
