It's not mentioned in Islam's holy book, the Quran, but the religion's ban on depicting the Prophet Muhammad — even favorably — has run firm through the centuries.
"The Prophet Muhammad enjoys sublime and supreme status among Muslims and it is impossible to let a normal person depict or act the role of the prophet," said Iraqi Shiite cleric Fadhil al-Saadi. "There is no confirmed information about the shape or the features of the Prophet ... So nobody should come up with a painting or an image of him. That would represent an insult to the status of the prophet."
While no one knows Muhammad's true appearance, followers of the relatively modern, ultraconservative Salafi movement in Islam seek to emulate him as closely as possible — including in what they believe to be his physical features and dress. Hardcore Salafis wear a beard without a moustache, let their hair grow long, line their eyes with kohl or wear robes stopping around mid-shin, contending that was the prophet's manner.
The ban also extends to his wives, daughters, sons-in-law, the first caliphs who succeeded him and his closest companions. In fact, Egypt's al-Azhar mosque, the Sunni world's foremost seat of religious learning, has complained when "Mohammed, Messenger of God," an epic 1970s Hollywood production, depicted the prophet's camel.

oh yeah ? Is that why they name so many of their mutt children Mohammed ?
mostly ugly little suckers too
Excuse the ignorance, but was his body taken into Heaven to get his 70 Virgens, or is there some remains that they could
get an idea of how tall, and what he ate.....
They’re not mutts. They’re inbred. Keeps from having to share anything with in-laws.
That's probably because he looked like pajama boy. Oh, and by the way, I'll see your bacon an raise you a link of sausage...
I suppose ABC will start referring to Jesus as "the Lord".
Since this “religion” is FAKE, they needed to make up these rules (after the fact) to cover for their pedophile, rapist, marauder of a creator! This is like David Koresh saying, “The first rule of Branch Davidianism is to never talk about Branch Davidianism. The second rule of Branch Davidianism is to NEVER talk about Branch Davidianism!”
They are simply designed to help continue the masquerade that is Islam!!
You want to make fun of Jesus Christ? Go ahead, my God is a rising God who lives in my heart - not some book or crucifix or burnt toast or “bleeding” statue!
I have seen many old Islamic depictions of the alleged prophet, and there is only one appropriate response to ABC's typical propaganda:
Here is a fun thought: How about a Mohammad doll? Something like the little Wishnik/Troll dolls from the 70’s?
People could buy them and leave them everywhere. Wherever you went there would be a Mohammad doll. On the sidewalk, on the subway, etc.
They have mysteriously disappeared from play......
Then there is ZombieTime's Mohammed Image Archive proving this 'journalist' has not done a thorough research for this 'report'.

“I suppose ABC will start referring to Jesus as “the Lord”.”
Oooooh noooo...their doctrine of “diversity and inclusion” requires that Islam be treated more reverently than any other belief system.
What a delicious thought. Prophets everywhere like trash on the street. I'll take 20 to start, please.
That's their business. But they don't have the right to come here and tell me how I must act. Or how western cartoonist must draw or not draw...
If Muslims don't like freedom of speech - they need to go home. They weren't brought here as slaves. We don't owe them any pity... they have no claim on white guilt. Muslims who don't like our ways need to pack up and leave. Go back to those wonderful Muslim countries that double as hellholes - places always at war...with everybody.
It's against MY religion to have crazy control freaks murder innocents because they don't genuflect to the demands of some violent pedophile...
FUABC News!!!
Seems to me that soooooo many Muslims try their best to look like Muhammad...they should follow their own own rules an not try an be a likeness of their own “profit” [sic].
