Why do Muslims get offended over depictions of Muhammad but not

Only Wahhabis do, really.

>>2574784
Maybe because Jesus and the prophets before him are shared among the Christians and Jews?

>>2574798
Aren't most sunnis wahhabists or leaning that way anyway though?

>>2574784
That's ali not mo

Wrong. Depiction of the prophet is always frowned upon regardless of sects.

1. They believe he was the "perfect human", and thus, wrongly giving him certain traits can be insulting

2. Images and icons breed idolatry, and Muslims pride themselves on being the "religion of monotheism". To portray a person that is so critical to the faith opens the door to idolatry. They would bring up examples about the worship Jesus' physical form, or the cross

3. Tradition. It's mostly a "my parents hit me really hard when I drew him so I know it's really bad" kind of deal

because he's the most important. it's why his namesake is ubiquitous as a given name, who wants to name their son from the second string picks?

It's a Sunni thing. Shias have no problem with drawing Muhammad. Example: All the authentic art of Muhammad came from Shia sources.

ISLAM MUST DIE

>>2575016
shias are frowned upon by the rest of the muslim world though and some even consider them ""non muslim"

They are hypocritical. In the lore Jesus and Moses are much more holy. Mohammed was just a opportunistic merchant.

>>2575029
Who knew the "Catholics aren't Christians" meme exists in the Muslim world too?

>>2575016
So Suunis are the unreasonable ones

>>2575044
Lel you have it backwards Shia is the protestant version

>>2575029
being considered as "non-muslim" is always a compliment to the islamic group in question

Thats Ali not muhammad

Because his image isn't supposed to be worshiped. It idolizes him.

>>2574784
Because they essentially worship Mohammed as the perfect human.

>>2575279
its muhammad, if it was ali, he would have a sword,

>>2575361
Ali didn't always have a sword

>>2575383
i thought he was a boxer

>>2574811
No. Not even most Salafists are Wahhabis

>>2575016
Shias are infidels

>>2574981
>They believe he was the "perfect human"

No, believing this would be equivalent to worshipping him which whould be an a form of idolatry, they simply believe that he set a good example for Muslims to follow

Could be one of the 12 shia imams. None are muhhamad though.

>>2574784
All depictions of prophets are frowned upon, even to shias. However jesus and moses are shared with jews and christians thus they cant really do anything.

>>2574784
It doesnt really fit his description well. I think who drew this intended to make him look a bit evil

>>2574798
this is just plain wrong

>>2575488
>Believing that Ali, the prophet's uncle is his true successor, instead of some random merchants is being infidel

Whatever your parents told you
