“Islam forbids pictures of Muhammad.”

This didn’t used to be true. There are some famous works of art by classical Muslim artists that portray Mohammed leaping into Heaven astride his horse, there are paintings of his triumphal entry into Mecca, and etc.

This brand of Islam that makes women wear bags and that destroys art is a new thing since the 1930’s. Not that I’m in favor of any form of Islam, just that I know that the current form of extremism is a relatively new thing.
