Depictions of Mohammed Throughout History
|

| http://www.zombietime.com/mohammed_image_archive/
Controversy over the publication of images depicting Mohammed in the Danish
newspaper Jyllands-Posten has erupted into an international furor. While Muslims
worldwide are calling for a boycott of Denmark and any other nation whose press
reprints the cartoons, Europeans are trying to stand up for Western principles
of freedom of speech and not cave in to self-censorship in the name of
multiculturalism and fear.
While the debate rages, an important point has been overlooked: despite the
Islamic prohibition against depicting Mohammed under any circumstances, hundreds
of paintings, drawings and other images of Mohammed have been created over the
centuries, with nary a word of complaint from the Muslim world. The recent
cartoons in Jyllands-Posten are nothing new; it's just that no other images of
Mohammed have ever been so widely publicized.
This page is an archive of numerous depictions of Mohammed, to serve as a
reminder that such imagery has been part of Western and Islamic culture since
the Middle Ages -- and to serve as a resource for those interested in freedom of
expression.
The images in the archive below have been divided into the following categories:
Islamic Paintings and Miniatures Showing Mohammed in Full
Islamic Depictions of Mohammed with Face Hidden
European Medieval and Renaissance Images
Book Illustrations
Dante's Inferno
French Book Covers
Various Eras
Contemporary Christian Drawings
Animated TV Parodies
Satirical Modern Cartoons
The Jyllands-Posten Cartoons
Recent Responses to the Controversy

(Please note that the Arabic name "Mohammed" has over the years been
transliterated into Western languages with several different spellings -- some
of which you'll encounter below -- including Mahomet, Muhammad, and Mohamed.)

Lord Cerne Abbas
We shall go on to the end, we shall defend our World, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall
fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall
never surrender, and even if this World, or a large part of it were subjugated
and starving, then we would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time,
the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue
and the liberation of the old."
To rebel is right, to disobey is a duty, to act is necessary !
