Really? Besides Muhammad, name 1 other well known person who showing a benign picture of him causes a real risk of getting killed by his fans?
Noooooo you forgot the (PBUH) when you mentioned Muhammad (PBUH), now I will have to kill you :( look what you made me do
Don’t worry, i was actually taking about Muhammad Ali
You shall be spared this time Mashallah
How DARE you speak that name with even the slightest link to derision! I mean, erm, Jar Jar Binks.

I’ve gotta say, I know quite a few Muslims and I can’t think of one who would so much as take a swing at me for running around in a big t-shirt with Muhammad’s face on it. Meanwhile, I can think of a few people who would take a swing at me if I was wearing, say, Osama Bin Laden.
Well I don’t know if you heard but there’s this orange deranged guy.
Showing a benign picture of him won’t get you killed.
What’s the fun in that?

Who cares though. Why do we put so much more power in the hands of people who are only more physically attractive?
The fans of some streamer are not going to kill you.
It was sort of a half-joking response but I can see that didn’t come through. Oh well
I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen quite a number of vtuber face reveals, every singe one is shockingly sexy
At this point its a bit of a meme in the community that all vtubers are automatically hot
Does this narrow it down better? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo_shooting
I’m really confused about the “No one can have my picture but almost every single one of my male believers is going to carry my name” situation.
Religions are kind of weird, aren’t they?

“Religion has given us hope in a world torn apart by religion.”
Well, really fundamentalist whackdoodle strains of Islam actually go so far as to claim that no pictorial depiction of any living thing is allowed. They just get really extra touchy about old Mr. M.
Jury’s out on how, exactly, that would stand up to things like television and photographs. But I’m not an imam and I don’t have the entirety of the hadiths in front of me so I don’t fuckin’ know. The whole thing is obviously wonky on its face.
It’s a rule thing. Like not eating pork or shellfish, but less tangible and comprehensible than a dietary restriction.
Not depicting people with representative art is a thing that isn’t universally embraced in Islam or by every Muslim. But similarly there’s going to be some person out there who feels as strongly about it as they would if someone intentionally snuck pork into their food.
Fun fact: While pictures of Mohammed are a no-no for Sunnis (Arabic World), it’s a common thing for Shias (Iran mostly).

Just an artifact of history.
There once was a post on the Onion about a caricature of Christian, Judaist, Hindu and Buddhist gods having an orgy and no believers wishing death upon the author, but sighing and closing the tab instead.
There was one with mohammed included too in a french satirical paper, but it was sometimes in the -70 or -80. Much cooler times.
This one?
No this is a common misconception. That’s Brian, and he is a very naughty boy
For a moment I thought this was a character from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure lol
How do we know it’s not?
Which heavy metal band is he named after?
My bet is on Killing Joke
No, that’s just the Jesus
Nobody fucks with the Jesus!
I’m fairly certain that’s Stephen Fry with a beard.
Fucking Star Wars fans…
As a Star Wars fan, have an angry upvote
Twelve people were gunned down for publishing a cartoon of Muhammad.
A teacher was beheaded for showing a drawing of Muhammad.

I don’t care if you want to claim all religions are equally capable of violence.
There is only one religion I’m deathly afraid of pissing off if I choose to criticize them publicly.
There was a time in Europe where it was illegal to draw something to realistic thanks to the church.
Even the Far Side got in on the act
This predates the internet. And I’ve heard it in at least two other languages besides English. I love it.
Yeah this always struck my as bonkers. I personally like how South Park did it - with a full-body censor car. Even then the religious fanatics got salty about it.
Is it Jimmy Saville?
No, it’s Rolf Harris.
I was sure it’s Steve Jobs
I dunno, that “other” group of fanatics isn’t in charge of the two largest nuclear arsenals in the world, so I’d dispute them being “far more dangerous.”
Pls don’t kill me for posting this. A holy warrior already smote the guy that drew it 🙏
My question is, if it is supposedly abominable to show a picture of Mohamed, thus there are no extant pictures of him, how does the claim that any particular doodle of a guy in a turban with a beard actually is a depiction of Mohamed stand up to logical scrutiny? (That was a rhetorical question. I know my error was actually in including the word “logic.”)
You can’t prove it’s actually him. This could just be the Continuing Adventures of Captain Bomb Hat, an individual completely unrelated.
😊 <- TIL this is the only known picture of the Prophet Muhammad
How dare you

Fuck off, all religions are fucking stupid and need to die. They have no place in human civilization anymore. It is time to move on.
Isreal is a religious ethnostate, in the same way most of the middle east is, in the same way large swaths of the bible belt try (and many times succeed) to be.
The only difference between these three is the amount of money and leeway they’re given to enact their stupid bullshit. Its time the adults in the room stopped putting up with it.
You can throw around “edgy reddit atheist” all you want, but were not the group of people enabling and engaging in some of humanities most heinous acts over the fact that you where too stupid to question your parents. I’m so tired of wearing kid gloves around religious folk.
Have you considered public office? You’d have my vote
