Re: Picture of Hazoor PBUH on wikipedia
After trying to read through the grammatical trainwreck you call a post, I have very few items to respond to:
The pictures on wikipedia are not labelled in the sense that this is a true representation of the Prophet. Rather, most folks should know by the data entered there, that these were pictures made under different dynasties depicting how people perceived the Rasul. Two different things. No one is labelling anything, and certainly no one needs to walk away thinking they need to print out the picture and worship it.
The pictures are not necessarily accepted by orthodox muslims and orthodox muslim theology as PERMISSABLE, if that's what you meant. However, these pictures are printed in various textbooks and encyclopedias and art texts, and so therefore they are indeed a part of Islamic History, in the sense that they were made under muslim leadership. Many unIslamic things were done in Islamic history, and yet they are still part of Islamic History, much as Karbala is part of Islamic History. I certainly hope you don't think that Karbala incidents were in accordance with Islam. You can't erase Karbala. You cannot erase the Ummayids. You cannot erase genocide done by muslim dictatorships. You cannot erase crimes that took place in the Islamic empire. You cannot erase abuse towards women that happens in muslim countries. Worse things have happened than a painting of the Prophet being made, and we can't conveniently forget about them.
