   That answers my question. When I heard about the bear costume, I   
   wondered whether his face was visible, or he was entirely covered.   
   "Hidden from view" tells me it was the latter.   
      
   So let me get this straight: showing a fake bear and saying that   
   Muhammed is inside the costume is considered by some people to be   
   a "depiction" of Muhammed??? Yikes...
