Short answer is no, it's not forbidden. At least not Scripturally so. It's an extension of the idolatry rules from Judaism about not representing certain things. But as is often the case in religion when rules and commandments are involved, much is interpretation. Some interpretation becomes official dogma despite having no Scriptural basis in fact.

As an aside, even if it were forbidden in Qur'an, what kind of all-powerful deity needs you or me acting as its agent meteing out religious justice? If we all die and get judged anyway, why not let God handle it?

He was a war mongering pedophile that started a death cult. The depictions should illustrate that until everyone gets it.

Mohammed fucked a seven year old girl. Were he alive today, the dude would rot in jail for it. That is just gross.

what about the Inquisition? It was legal in accordance with
Justinian law------shariah is based on Justinian law in many details... The catholic church decided to reject many details of Justiinian law---including those laws which legalized the Inquisition. Your comparison is apt-----but out of date

Moral equivalency bullshit we are in the 21st genius. You'd be the first one in line to be beheaded. Your best friend Sunni man would help you in that direction

As I understand it, it is just a Sunni tradition.

He prefers those of goats. With a traditional hot sauce.

No matter how many times non believers want to explain islam according to infidel interpretation they will still be wrong. Depicting Mohammad is forbidden. Depicting living creatures is forbidden. The taliban demolished ancient statues of Buddah because depicting living creatures is forbidden.

The is something deeply troubling about the current practices of non islamics explaining islam to the clerics and imams. I would like to see Howard Dean tell the ayatollah what islam really is.

Is Depicting Mohammed Forbidden?

Apparently not. I have depicted him multiple times and no one has given a crap.
