adjl 01/10/23 10:17:31 AM #14:	What gets me about the whole "don't depict Muhammad" thing is that the root concern is that doing so risks presenting the depiction as an idol and distracting from the things Muhammad represents. At its core, that's a moderately sensible philosophy, but to go from that to "anyone who depicts Muhammad must be made to suffer, regardless of the context" just makes no sense, especially when it's non-Muslims doing so who are neither supposed to be worshipping Muhammad nor are in any risk of worshipping the depiction as an idol. If anything, it seems that some Muslims worship the absence of depictions of Muhammad as an idol, above what he actually represents. --- This is my signature.
