Being that it's Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.
However, I can repost.
It wasn't always haram to display images of Mohammed.
A Persian depiction of Mohammed preaching to his followers.
An Uzbek depiction of Mohammed on his flying steed Buraq on his Night Journey to (what has been interpreted as) Jerusalem. [Note: why would he have gone to the Temple in Jerusalem if, as modern Muslim fanatics suggest, there was no Temple in Jerusalem?]
But somehow we are now supposed to believe that Islam prohibits depictions of Mohammed on pain of death.
Screw that.
One of the Jyllands-Posten cartoons that set off the current assault on free speech.
And an image composed by one "tadpole" that pretty much illustrates the same idea of a religious figure being perverted into an excuse for murderous oppression.
But here may be the most provocative image generated for Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, by Day-By-Day cartoonist Chris Muir. Do you see a man of peace, a religious fanatic, an object of idol worship, or perhaps the death struggle of Western freedoms against medieval religio-political values?
