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...
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.
