Answer me this. If the original reason for barring depictions of Muhammad was to prevent idolatry, why does it matter to them when a depiction is published to an audience that is almost entirely non-Muslim. It shouldn’t matter because we can’t be idolaters to a religious figure we don’t believe in. If anything, the interest in the Muhammad depiction could potentially bring people into the religion. There’s irony for you…
LOL i really liked that thought. I feel some sects of Islam do not understand the “Face to the Religion” deal to help convert people. That worked well with imagery of Christ for centuries why can’t it with Islam and Muhammad.
I guess the other side is almost like adding a big name actor to a movie. the movie’s story and ideas could have been wonderful to begin with and should have been enough for people to see it but they will see it only for the actor and only keep their attention long enough to see the development of the actor, not any of the other meanings.
LOOSE ANALOGY BUT *edited* YOU
