Whats funny is that most people think that Islam forbids any image of Muhammad. The Quran doesn't forbid it. It forbids idolatry, just as the Christian Bible does. In fact, Iran has no problem with images of the prophet Muhammad. What most Muslims go off of is what MAN has said. Not GOD.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So, is there some rule against posting pictures of prophets? Serious question. Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. Has this site gotten so fucking lame that we disallow shit that even left-wing newspapers and the AP are publishing? Appears so 1. Big difference between what they are publishing (which has been posted many times), and some of the images that are out there. And since this is GD, you know it is only a matter of time before that line is crossed and the thread shut down. 2. Context matters. If about the news story then the images (the ones from the news) would be good to post, this thread however seems to be designed to produce a negative response which violates CoC 1. |

You know what is funny? Mohamed was a HUMAN, elevating him to supernatural status is IDOLATRY, just like those that bemoan Koran "abuse". They worship a book, making them IDOLATRERS.

Why? If the proud Muslims would defend those who take the words of Mohammed to heart, we wouldn't need this thread. Whabbi, Sufi and a few other sects are guilty of idolatry as they think Mohammed was something other than human. They even tried to ape the resurrection of Jesus Christ with their version of Mohammed's assumption into heaven instead of death, then resurrection and finally, assumption. Islam apes all major religions. Including those it abhors.

I disagree with all religions equally, but pretty sure this thread is not COC compliant. IBTL.

You realize of course that in Sunni Islam, graven images of people, especially of the Prophet, are a serious taboo. Shia Islam is more lenient regarding images of people, but even it would not allow pictures of the Prophet himself.
Early Christianity went through an Iconoclastic period, when zealots destroyed all the religious statues and icons they could find, on the ground that these were idolatrous. Finally a compromise solution was reached, by which statues and icons were allowed, but only if they were "venerated" and not "worshipped." Then, centuries later, the controversy reared its head again during the Protestant Reformation. In many ways, Moslems were, and are, extreme Christian heretics. Their Iconoclasm is just one of the features they inherited from the early Christian period. |

But since I made it in before the lock, the outrage that Muslims get in over images of the prophet is ignorant as fuck. Just like many practitioners of many religions, they lose sight of the core message of their religion and get overwhelmed by the dogma and details.
