I only know of Christians writing icons. They weren't painted by Protestants, that's for sure.

What role do you think this adoration of images and figures played in the rise of Islam?

I am not a Muslim, so I can't answer that. To the best of my knowledge, the Muslims are iconoclasts, although some shiia Muslims sects did use pictures for a while.
