According to modern Muslims, Muhammad is not to be depicted in drawings, sculptures, etc. Did you know that the US has a sculpture of Muhammad? Not just anywhere, but in Washington DC....in the Supreme Court Building....in the courtroom itself!
Interesting, huh?

Sherzade, actually that's not true. From what I understand up until about 500 years ago he was depicted quite frequently in art by Muslims

Yes. This basically has the same source as Christians being forbidden from worshiping graven images. Of course, Christians ignore this and fill churches with images of God, Christ and the Saints.

He isn't supposed to be portrayed BY Muslims...A non-Muslim can depict him, but they will still go nuts, call for your head, burn your flag, kill a priest, kill a nun, and blow a bunch of people up.
Rational Bunch....aren't they?
Don't blame me....It's what they did when the Danish Cartoonist drew a picture. I'm just stating a FACT!!!
