The Prophet Muhammad

[Karen]

You explained this some to me in a PM, but could you explain to everyone why the Prophet Muhammad is not allowed to be depicted? This is very different from Christian faith which has a long tradition of artwork of Jesus.

I appreciate your eloquent and educational post dear Pops. You know my respect for you and your faith is boundless.

Love, Jess

The prophet is not allowed to be depicted to avoid idolatry.

I you don't have a religion you beleive in and don't know much about religion this isn't the best place to find out a lot. Things can really only be touched on here as religions are full of lots of information and much too much to really cover here as to the beleifs, etc. You would do better to use Google to look up different religions if you truly want to learn about them in depth.

Popcorn Bird, thank you for explaining part of your beleifs in such a forthright easy to understand manner. It's always interesting for me to hear about and learn about other religions.

Thank you PCB for the insight you have given us on Islam.
I had no idea that it was so close to Christianism!

Thanks Pops for the informative and beautiful explanation. How sad there are fanatics in every religion that give it a bad connotation. Having been to the Middle East, I learned the beauty of many religions. I am Jewish and have many Muslim friends, which surprises many people. I also had a bi-religious upbringing which was one of the best things I could have learned. I'm one of these people who prays for unity and peace and RESPECT for humanity.
