I wonder why the Muslims came up with the nutty taboo against images of Mohammed? I mean, they all agree that Mohammed is not god. They call him a prophet. If he was just a man, then what's wrong with showing a picture supposedly like him -- of course there are no pictures of Mohammed, or statues of him, so it wouldn't be a real likeness, any more than all the portraits of Jesus are actual likenesses. But I don't see any reason for the prohibition, which is irrational and foolish.
He may have been white with red beard
Probably because he was an exceedingly ugly chronic masturbating pale freckled skitzo with dirty red hair and a gimp ... and totally not something to immortalize with an image.
My guess is that there were multiple Muhammad's, so imagery was banned so any person claiming to be muhammad could be muhammad.
