There are no surviving depictions of Muhammad made during his lifetime. Although there are surviving descriptions of Muhammad’s appearance, these are not detailed enough to create a perfectly accurate image of him. Because of this, no image of Muhammad can be perfectly accurate, meaning that any image that purports to represent him is, in some way or another, deceptive.
In Islam, it is believed that creating images of religious figures is the first step toward idolatry. Islam therefore generally discourages the creation of images of religious figures of any kind.
That’s technically false. The prohibition is not on creating images of religious figures, but on creating images of any person.
Shia Islam has a strong tradition of depicting Muhammad in art, this article has plenty of examples (and explains the issue).
Bull-fucking-Shit! That’s Mohammed and the other prophets going Super Saiyan!
That’s quite a contrast with White Jesus.
I think it’s especially funny when White Jesus also has blue eyes
That’s technically false. The prohibition is not on creating images of religious figures, but on creating images of any person.
