Because Islam is filled with a lot of crazy people who would go on murder sprees if you depict Muhammad for just a second

I think it stems from the fact that there isn't consensus on what he looks like, so they said unless there is a definitive description, no images. Perhaps to avoid generating conflict? If so, the irony is palpable.

Apparently something. It's rather taboo in Western society, which is weird considering Islam isn't the governing body of any of those countries and the majority of people are not Islam. We're never going to move past religion if we keep making concessions for it. We need to just treat Christianity and Islam like anything else until we can normalize how not special they are, in spite of any negative response. I was rather disappointed that this didn't happen after the Charlie Hebdo incident.

I think it's because muhammad didn't want to be worshiped or whatever and islam is heavily against idolatry in general (notice there's no saints and the like). they basically don't want anyone to pray to muhammad. or at least that's it started. not sure if that's still the reasoning

Naming your (not you in particular) child after him isn't a sign of worship? Guess someone should tell the 1+ million folks the bad news.

Yeah, and then the idiots who protect Islam for even the bad shit, demonizes the non believer, he gets racism stamp and police or governments won't help them.

This is old case, but im still fucking pissed off about this. He was not threatened by only Muslims in his home country, but pretty much worldwide.

This. It's one of the original reasons because back then they did depict Muhammad in certain old texts. However, what Islam needs to take into effect is that in context it needs to change with the times. No one in this day of age is going to look at a picture of Muhammad and go "Oh shit, I need to worship this beautiful bastard!". Islam needs to go through an enlightenment age like Christianity in order to stop having a stick up their ass with their traditions and dogma.

So here is what I want to know

It's not okay to depict Mohammed

But it's okay to name literally everybody Mohammed, and in some sense one might say that you're depicting Mohammad by naming someone Mohammed

But how do we know what is a picture of him if we've never seen a picture of him?

I know it's the core issue of the issue but

If I took a picture of Keanu Reeves and put "Picture of: Mohammed" across the bottom that doesn't make it a picture of Mohammed
