But really there is no reason for anyone else to not do it. Kind of like how early Jews could even say Jehova. The Torah talks about blasphemy, but it was man's traditions that resulted in the punishments. Anyway... Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

There are some artistic depictions of Mohammed from the earlier days of Islam that are wonderful examples of art in the region.

Actually, there are lots of Muslim pictures of Mohammad. Zombietime has collected a bunch of them here. http://www.zombietime.com/mohammed_image_archive/islamic_mo_full/ Here is a picture of Mohammed in our own Supreme Court chamber. I got it from a WaPo article explaining how the taboo of depcting Mohammed arose, since it is not forbidden in the Qu'ran. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/16/how-images-of-the-prophet-muhammad-became-forbidden/?utm_term=.292f28d2e0c5

Well I wouldn't becessarily call it a man made law in terms of separating explicit laws in the Koran vs laws that were made up independent of it. The law forbidding depictions of Mohammed is based upon interpretation of scripture and not just made up out of thin air. Religious texts are never simply looked at as a bunch of laws, and shouldn't be. It's a mix of explicitely stated laws and laws made from interpretation.

I have always held the opinion that if a man is using his interpretation of holy text to make a law or rule not in the text then said rule must be looked at with a jaundiced eye. Took years of being out of Catholic school to figure that one out...lol. Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

One of the Hadith explicitly states that all pictures of humans and animals are forbidden. (Sahih Muslim 5268) Just a heads up for Cristian friends out there--people who get exercised over the image of Mohammed may also condemn images of Jesus and Moses.

Really, there's no reason why a non-muslim would have to not depict Mohammed in a public fashion? Quote:Kind of like how early Jews could even say Jehova. The Torah talks about blasphemy, but it was man's traditions that resulted in the punishments. For historical comparison, sure. However, we're talking about right now. Quote:Anyway... An interesting vid choice. I feel like there's one group of people still engaging in the 2000 year old behavior depicted in it. Who is it? Hmmmmm

Quote:We're talking about right now. Indeed we are. Quote:Who are they? Hmmmmmm Whoever they are I'm sure you'll label them racists. If we're talking about "scapegoating" though I suppose we'll have to include just about the entire human race. |
