Am I conceding there's no pictures of Mohammed? I guess, you've probably researched it more then myself. I don't think that's weird though - it's not as though there are accurate portraits of Jesus. Makes no sense a Jew in that part of the world is a fair skinned white guy with long straight hair like that.

And if you do poast a picture, then as a true believer, someone must cut your head off.
Re-read your Bible, chap. Exodus 20:4 says, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." I believe later on in the Mosaic Law, idolatry was punishable by death.
since when does islam use the bible as a source?
while judiasm, christianity and islam are all traced to abraham, abraham was waaaaay before moses (and exodus). abraham was the father of ishmael, who, along with his mother hagar, was kicked out by abraham's wife, sarah (who eventually begat isaac). ishmael and hagar eventually settled in mecca and become the founders of islam (in essence).

That's sort of like me going, "are you forced to agree 1 + 1 = 2", and when you say yes going, "ha, I won the argument!" When did I say there was pictures of Mohammed?

My point was that the idea of not making an image of a religious figure is neither weird nor exclusive to Islam.

So any of you bible thumpers going to the dcfestival with Luis Palau?
Probably won't be as awesome as the Black Luv Festival, but then again, what is?

fair enough- your initial response sounded like you were saying that islam was using a bibilical reference for justifing not allowing any image of mohammed. in any event, the iconoclasts of the late medieval period would surely agree with you, as well as calvinists.

Sorry, I thought it was fairly obvious I was just playing off of GGW's joke.
