Why does the Media persistently make the same claim (e.g. BBC says, "Any
images of the Prophet are banned under Islamic tradition.", CNN says
essentially
the same thing, etc.), when it simply does not seem to be accurate according
to the site filled with portrayals of him, many done by Muslims overtly and
w/ perfect acceptance, it seems, in the Muslim world, that one poster (Eric?)
sent? Surely BBC and CNN are as able as members of this list to discover
facts. Is this supposed to be a "new rule" of some sort in Islam? The word
"tradition" doesn't indicate that. Why this perpetual factual error?
Somebody take out about 2/3 of the commas in that pseudo-paragraph and make
it into English. So sue me for my sentence structure this morning.
But really. I'm asking.
