We had one in the article but someone removed it. I assume this is because of the modern Muslim taboo on images depicting Muhammad. Should Conservapedia adhere to this prohibition? [[User:Sulgran|Sulgran]] 21:58, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

:NO. It is not our job to censor ourselves of a historically accurate image due to the whining of some religious group. We can respect their values, but we certainly should not adhere to them. If we did, we'd all be wearing turbans and praising Allah right about now. --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 22:32, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

There is no 'modern taboo' on his images. For more than 1000 years no pictures of him were permitted incase people started to 'worship' it- because he is only a Prophet not God. Also, no picture is worthy to depict the beauty of the Prophet.
Respecting a religion does not require one to adhere to it- you repsect thats all you do. For example, if I were to enter a Church, in respect of the religion, I would dress modestly- not like a nun.
On another note, there is a mistake in the article in relation to the so called "massacre of Jews in Madina" (mind you the source of this statement is NOT reliable). Yes there were three Jewish tribes living in Madina when the Prophet and fellow Muslims settled there. The first thing Prophet Muhammed did was sign a treaty with the Jews, however, the Jews broke their treaty as from day one they were trying to get rid of the Muslims. The Jews were actually waiting for a Prophet to arrive, however, as Prophet Muhammed was Muslim they rejected his Prophethood.
