... no images of Muhammad or his disciples are available or are allowed by the Muslim faith.

There was a movie about 30 years ago which depicted the face of Muhammed ... the Hanafi Muslims rioted in Washington D.C. for more than a week ... took over some government buildings, etc.

I think this is the film that Michael Medved discussed on his show a year or so ago...
(when most of America finally realized that quite a few Muslims want us DEAD,
and many of their co-congregants are reticent to restrain their belligerant
co-congregants).

IIRC, the face of Muhammad (sp?) is never shown in the film, in accordance with the
medieval tradition of most Muslims (and I mean "medieval" in the negative sense).

And I think that some of these nutburger Muslims took over some movie theater that dared
to show the film in either New York City or maybe it was Washington, D.C....I can't remember which.

But, being a couple of decades ago, it was "a simpler time". I think the
Muslim fanatics that took hostages were satisfied to just let everyone go free
after their protestations got some publicity...instead of blowing up a building, etc.
