Why is Islamic "art" always so autistic?

>>1645439
Because depicting people is haram so they have to make crazy cool calligraphy and patterns instead.

>depicting people is haram
Why though? And what about depicting animals or landscapes or even objects?

>>1645439
>Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
—Exodus 20:4-6 (KJV)

Because cousin-marriages increase the possibility of autistic offspring.

Not even joking, apparently 30~40% of the Middle East is young men who have high-functioning autism.

imagery of humans was outlawed b/c the Arabs were taking over a wide variety of very different societies composed of very different looking ethnic groups.

they couldn't allow a certain racial archetype to be idealized. If a statue with native racial traits become popular, it could arouse feelings of tribal solidarity again the Arab occupiers. If a statue had Arabic features, then the natives with different racial characteristics would start to realize they were being fucked out of existence.

same reason they cover up the women.

They over up women to prevent their men from getting rapey.

Why not just draw a horse?? This always seems like some desperate attempt at getting around a loophole.

Middle Eastern Islamic Artists started doing people again after the Mongols booty blasted them.

Nothing ever original out of muslim arabs and turks. Just repackaging what they got from others.

lol. oh you silly silly boy. that's just what they tell everyone.

they cover them up so no one knows which ethnic group their raping that generation.

They thought you could prove the existence of God through logic and geometry.

Similar stuff happened in the Renaissance.
