most muslims do not make or show images of muhammad. the qur'an does not state that images of muhammad must not ever be made, but it does contain passages that forbid the creation of idols. there are also passages against the creation of images of god in the hadith. muslims, especially sunni muslims, believe there should be no pictures of muhammad. when people create images of muhammad, some muslims may view this as disrespectful, offensive, and emotionally injurious.
