Islamic Religious Art
I had asked a commenter on PZ Myers' first thread about the Danish Muhammed cartoons if he could provide me with any examples of the Islamic art of which he spoke which depicted the Prophet. Here's an interesting overview page, and here are two examples of such art featuring the Prophet and the Angel Gabriel. (By the way, PZ has a follow-up post.) Update: Laura has more. And here's a very interesting post about this from the POV of a Jordanian, The Black Iris (via upyernoz).
