Only a portrait of Mohammad is forbidden. All his minions have no problem with adulation. Nor did Mao or the current leader of North Korea.
Your reply made me wonder so I read an article in Wikipedia. It seems to be somewhat complicated. In general, Sunni Muslims are more restrictive than Shia Muslims. Only extreme Sunnis are totally against the depiction of human beings. And now a big surprise... Ayatollah Sistani of Najaf even allows the depiction of Mohammad if it is made with the utmost respect.
