Artistic representations of the human form are forbidden in Islam

I learned that in about the seventh grade. But there are/were plenty of pictures and statues of Saddam all over Iraq. What changed?

Something you all may not know:

The Supreme Court has various sculptures and friezes depicting the history of law. Once frieze depicts famous lawgivers in history. Hammirabi is there, Moses is there. So is Mohammed; like it or not, he set forth a system of law followed by a great many people.

It shows a likeness of Mohammed. It's fictional, since no one knows what he looks like. But it's there. A Moslem group found out about it and protested. Their protest was turned down, as the Court didn't want to deface a frieze.

Islam forbids representations of the human form? Of Mohammed? That's news to me.

This website on Islamic art shows plenty of artistic representations of the human form in Islam over the past 1400 years.

Here's some islamic art depicting Mohammed himself (in red in lower right corner) --

It sounds like some of the Danes GET IT. More power to them. They'll need all the discernment and courage they can muster to stand against this. Viking blood will come in handy.

Danish Imam Raed Hlayhel was the first to react. “This type of democracy is worthless for Muslims,” he fumed.

Namely, the kind of democracy where Muslims aren't in charge...
