Wait a minute, _O_. I thought Islam forbade likenesses of the prophet, Period. What I've read on the subject is that it is done to avoid the appearance of idolatry, which is objectionable to Muslims.
Now, I admit that the bomb/turban thing is insult to injury if you are Islamic, but it's not the "main driver" of the offense, if what I read is correct.

I also have to ask (as a side note) why it's forbidden to draw a likeness of Mohammed if he is not a god. In that case wouldn't he be human? And if you can have drawings of the Ayatollah, why not of Mohammed? Someone can PM me that info if they know. Thanks
