Wikipedia doesn’t ‘state’ anything. Someone put it there (it may very well have been a Muslim activist) and you can change it if you like.

You can't edit Wikipedia if you are a journalist who has criticized it. The adm block your IP address. Wikipedia does not encourage accountabilty, so all you are left with are aliases. It is not "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit."

Check out Wikitruth.

Not always true. You can change some articles but on contentious articles they change it back, and sometimes revoke your privileges. Some articles or topics they lock to prevent changes.

Not exactly.
Depends on who the site guard dog is at the moment. His powers are absolute, and totally independent of knowledge or judgement. If, for instance, he/she is sympathetic to a muslim challenging anything (factual or not), it is not allowed.

You obviously have not tried to make a correction to any blatant bias on Wikipedia. I have tried ... and the corrections are deleted. Sure you can change it if you like. However it will be deleted when it does not fit the agenda of the Wiki gestapo.
