forbade his followers
I'm not his follower, and so am allowed to make an image of anything I please. I noticed, he doesn't say, you can't look at an image, only that you can't make one. BW
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Where in the koran is this written? I only found something about graven images, they are forbidden, but I didn't found something about humans or animals. Greetings, Ingo ------------------------------ A bug in a Microsoft Product? No! It's not a bug it's an undocumented feature!

There are three ways of spelling it in English, Muslim, Moslem, and Mussulman, I just choose to combine the first two spellings as it is more phonetic. Nunc est bibendum
from wiki Until around the late 1980s, the word was commonly spelled Moslem. The spelling has since fallen into disuse. Muslims do not recommend this spelling because it is often pronounced "mawzlem," which sounds somewhat similar to an Arabic word for "oppressor" (Za'lem in Arabic). The word is pronounced "Mus"-lim in Arabic, but some English dictionaries allow both "Mus"-lim and "Muz"-lim. The word is now most commonly written "Muslim". Mussulman is urdu(i guess so) written in english.

Mussulman, according to an etymological dictionary I use, is from Turkish. Anyway, I dont much care for English spellings, it is an inconsistent language thrown together over a few centuries and mostly made up by whoever felt like making it up. And yes, Shakespere invented 2000 words, so lets not be a pedant (which was one of Shakesperes). Nunc est bibendum
