You are never able to do it right for everyone.
I've explained a lot more in my mail.
Would Canonical care, if someone is offended by unveiled women?
And what are you doing with the liberal women who are offended by veiled
women?

You have exactly two choices, don't care or don't show humans, don't
talk about freedom (some people are offended, because they think you
mean a different version of freedom as e.g. in China), and leave
everything out what could be political.

Rename Ubuntu back to "NoNameYet" or another freaky name, put a big
penguin on the front and be one of the thousands of other distributions.

I think my attitude is more "ubuntu" ...
