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.
