Trying to think of an apt analogy to Christianity, this is the best I've come up with: it'd be like the media harassing a private citizen into renouncing his faith. Or perhaps akin to Ted Turner buying the shroud of turin for his own personal collection.
*shrug*. It's a tricky analogy.

No, not really. According to Islamn a picture of Jesus is just as bad a picture of Mohamed.
Also your comparisons are completely flawed at least the first one. The second one might be a fair comparision, but a good many Christians could care less about the shroud.
In general moderen Christianity(and acording to my Bible reading ancient Christianity) vocally disaproves of many things but physically try to force compliance unless it feels the problem is actually hurting people(like genocide etc.)
