Surely you know that Muslims believe a depiction of the Prophet (or anyone, really) is blasphemous imitation and a violation of God's prohibition of "graven images".
For that matter, no one has a clue what the apostles, or Jesus, really looked like. All those portraits are symbolic.

There were no portraits of the Apostles; only artist's ideas of what they looked like. The Bible was written before Mohammed was even born, so no he is not in there. Christians do not believe that Mohammed was an apostle, a prophet, or anything else having to do with the God of Abraham.

The 'portraits' of the Apostles are not portraits of them at all, but are in reality the portraits of the old Roman gods.

Allah or Jesus?
By Rick Mathes
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths who explained their belief systems. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.
The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn I directed my question to the Imam and asked: Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation he replied, "Non-believers!"
I responded, So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to heaven. Is that correct? The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, Yes.
I then stated, Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Pat Robertson or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to heaven! The Imam was speechless.
I continued, I also have problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question-would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and wants you to be with me? You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Chuck Colson once told me something that has sustained me these 20 years of prison ministry. He said to me, Rick, remember that the truth will prevail. And it will!

There are no known paintings or pictures of the Prophet Muhammad. It is expressly against their religion..something about idol worship or something.

Dude, there were riots over exactly what you are asking for. I am sure there are, but they aren't going to be in the open because the guy who painted them might just misplace his head.

because he wasn't born until 500 years after the first bible was printed, and he was NOT an apostle of Jesus, since he found nothing wrong with murder, rape, theft, and slavery, all of which Jesus did not aprove of. The Quran is nothing but a book of fairy tales, lies and plagarism, and Mohammed was nothing more than a bully and dictator on the level with Hitler and Saddam hussein.
