I'll accept that there is no such thing as "the Islam" and that in practice it's a very diverse religion. But some traditions aren't simply "a traditional approach from a small sect in Islam" The Hijab (head scarves) is an Islamic requirement. The different sects will disagree on its implementation, style, enforcement, and other details...but the vast majority of Muslims will agree that it's not simply "again a traditional approach from a small sect in Islam" Depictions of holy figures is another example. Yes, there is Persian, Turkish, Indian, and other art depicting the prophet, the angels, god, etc. Yes, some Shia Muslims will have no problem depicting the prophet respectfully. Yes, some Sunni Muslims are more liberal than others. But in reality, when you look at the whole Islamic population, those groups are the ones that historically have represented a small sect in Islam. The vast majority of Muslims stand against such depictions; it's important to note that the vast majority of them will also simply boycott or ignore said depictions, rather than go through more violent channels. Just my two cents.
