There is a long Islamic tradition of representing Mohammed in art. The fact that the Wahabists don't like it (much as they are trying to destroy historical places in Saudi Arabia related to Mohammed) merely shows that they are trying to impose their strictures on all Islam.

if they remove it, they damn well better remove the "Piss Christ" picture as well.

What's SHITAT?

(will I be sorry I asked?)

We condemn pictures, regardless of the religion.

Uh, isn't the picture that goes along with this post taken from an Islamic manuscript? Sure looks like it.

The petition has a little “lolcats” flavor to it.

on wikipedia they has published some pictures that are showing not only a body with white face but an image that has a complete face..

All right, this really made me smile.

Can we start a petition to add a few more images there? Zombie has a nice collection, anyway.

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]
Note what it says:
"Please note that discussion on this talk page has determined that pictures of Muhammad will not be removed from this article and any removal of the pictures without discussion here first will be reverted on sight."

And, if you click on the link of the Mohammed FAQ it also says this:
"Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with the goal of representing all topics from a neutral point of view, Wikipedia is not censored for the benefit of any particular group. Wikipedia will not remove content or images because people find them objectionable or offensive so long as the content or images are relevant to the article and does not violate any of the Wikipedia's existing policies, nor the law of the U.S. state of Florida, where Wikipedia's servers are hosted. "
" Accusations of bias towards western references are often made when an objection is raised against the display of pictures of Muhammad or lack of honorifics when mentioning Muhammad. All articles on Wikipedia are required to present a neutral point of view. This neutrality is sometimes mistaken for hostility."

In Judaism, eating hot dogs is not allowed. But on Wikipedia, they have pictures of people eating hot dogs! Brothers and sisters, everybody write to Wikipedia to tell them to respect others religion!

Oh brudder. You drew these pictures of your f'ing pedophile mass-murdering prophet Mo (piss be upon him)! OK, so the drawings were from a more tolerant time. They show the scars of less tolerant times, when skill in draughtsmanship was suppressed, and thus lost, but at this time your own Muslim scribes, with a feeling of deepest reverence, drew their beloved prophet preaching. It's not Muhammed with a dog's body and it's not even Muhammed with a bomb in his turban!

How's about you just show the world how pissed-off you are by going into the desert somewhere and blowing yourselves up? It'll be a statement or something. Make sure that you do it away from people and I'll even contribute a firecracker.

Should somebody point out these pictures of Mohammad were painted by Persian Muslims. Such depictions did not offend their religious beliefs.

I don't blame them. Big Mo looks too damn respectable in that picture. He should be shown as the blood thirsty child molester he was.

If you look at his left hand....

We had best learn this. Where that religion is concerned, coexistance and tolerance take on entirely different meanings than the hopeful Western fools use. They are synonyms for subjugated. To take either term at its Western-oriented face value is to court disaster, as the Islamists consider such compromise only as surrender and submission.

Said something similar to that, a while ago-

...........The islamic world is determined to establish a worldwide caliphate with domination of all others. This is no great secret. It is written about extensively by moslems around the world. It is preached in mosques every week throughout the moslem world. It can be seen in tapes of speeches, on international television, on the internet.

The desire for domination is a jealous one. It tolerates no other views. A Jewish State in Israel, Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, pork served at meals in British schools, synagogues and churches freely attended, women free to define their own lives, children free to learn all of the knowledge that our civilization has amassed; in the eyes of our enemies all the freedoms and rights we take for granted are anathema.

Tsk, tsk. How potentially embarassing. Perhaps he's the True Prophet of the Arabs, just no one else.

Along those lines, I sometimes wonder, despite my Christianity, if God is not having a great laugh by occasionally sending an angel to someone somewhere with a truly cock and bullsh&t story, just to see where it goes. It would explain many religious foibles and fumbles.

God as Divine Prankster also helps explain giraffes, duck-billed platypii, young and old earth theories, and James Carville.

re: #158 jaunte

Questions, we got questions...

1. How do they know that it's a picture of Mohammed?

2. How does anyone know what Mohammed looked like?

3. Is it a picture of Mohammed if someone claims it's Mohammed?

4. I can understand not wanting to be forced to draw pictures of Mohammed or look at pictures of Mohammed, but the existence of images that someone claims to look like Mohammed is pretty thin seething material.

These jerks can spin the thinest of filaments into whole cloth when they need a reason to be offended.

What's that thing on the wall that looks like the Jack-in-the-Box clown?

Are you referring to the oil lamp which is hanging between Mohammed and his followers?

I still think it looks like the Jack-in-the-Box dude.

I see your point. But it's a hanging oil lamp, just the same.

Some allowance must be made for the style of illuminated manuscripts. BTW, oil lamps of this sort, or electric lamps made to look like them, are still common as Ner Tamids (eternal lights) in many synagogues.

Wayyyy off. It's a device for communicating with the other Gua'uld.

Well, seeing as the pictures seem to have been painted by Muslims, it would indicate that they were for the paintings before they were against them.

re: #177 Occasional Reader

I recognize this work: Mohammed Flings a Direct T.V. Dish At His Followers (circa 950 AD, artist unknown)

Actually, I took Art History 101 (didn't everyone), and IIRC, this picture is the first in a famous Persian triptych circa 875 AD. The next panel shows Mo in a cave with a goat retrieving a message from allah, and the final panel shows the followers in the first panel, without their heads, while Mo looks on approvingly. It's based on a Hadith or a Haggis, or something like that.

Just like schizophrenics and others suffering from delusional disorders, they have an internal logice.

And the seethers can (and do) threaten to bomb hosting facilities, so Wikipedia's not exactly immune from terror threats.

Personally, I'm sick of coddling these infantile a-holes.

Christians didn't particularly like a crucifix in a jar of urine being called "art", and Catholics had the same reaction to a painting of the Virgin Mary plastered with cow dung. There have been innumerable desecrations of Christian icons in the name of "creativity" and freedom of expression and Christians become outraged (which is the intended reaction) and we all move on.

The rules of their religion apply to them, not me, and I refuse to be bound by them.

While, at some level I want to respect the beliefs of all - I do think that there should be an element of reciprocity. When I see that, I'll feel some sympathy. Until then, screw 'em.

I think I'll have a long wait - just like there is no crying in baseball, there is no reciprocity in Islam.

#173 MandyManners

Also, as I pointed out earlier, this appears to be an early Medieval manuscript, probably from an Islamic document, and doesn't appear to be mocking the prophet---so what is Wiki supposed to do? Hunt down and punish an illuminated manuscript artist who lived over 700 years ago?

That this was done by a Christian artist would actually make some sense. The Middle-East (despite Islamic propaganda to the contrary) was home to many advanced civilizations before the Islamic invasions, and home to Jews, Zororastrians and, of course, Christians, who had achieved a high degree of artistic quality (think Byzantine icons, etc.)

As we were discussing earlier, in a purported effort to avoid "idolatry", Mo's image is banned. And then they proceed to go apeshit over demanding respect and reverence for an image.

re: #238 buzzsawmonkey

re: #232 Occasional Reader

Joking
aside, the style of the art does suggest that it was done by a hired
Christian artist. Which gets very interesting, in that not only did the
Muslims of 5-6-700 years ago not have a problem with representations of
Mohammed, but apparently did not have a problem hiring/commanding
infidels or dhimmis to do them.

That may be why they had Christians do the painting - Mohammed commanded that his followers not depict him.

Do offended Muslims not realize that these drawings were done a LONG time ago by other MUSLIMS?
Does that thought ever cross their mind?
Or is always the dirty zionists that are responsible for these drawings to them?
Realizing that other Muslims made these drawings a lot time ago, when it was clearly FINE to depict Mo Ham Head might make their heads explode.

re: #251 Ben Hur

Why doesn't someone ask why, historically, most of their art and poetry deal exclusively with jihad (war)?

I don't know that that's so. And frankly, there is some beautiful Islamic art out there from "back in the day". Of course, it often gets captioned in supposedly secular art museums (cough Freer Gallery cough) with things like this:

"[classical Middle Eastern calligraphy] gave visual form to the Koran, God's unadulterated words received by the Prophet Mumammad."

None of this "Muslims believe..." or "said to be..." stuff.

re: #256 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

Which I'm fine with. My answer to every person who argues that it is "against Islam" to have images of Mo is that we're not Islamic and not required to avoid things that it bans, even within the view of Muslims.
