Is there an actual picture of Mohamed or painting that we can view? Without pissing off all of Islam?

    Shia Islam has a strong tradition of depicting Muhammad in art, this article has plenty of examples (and explains the issue).

      There are no surviving depictions of Muhammad made during his lifetime. Although there are surviving descriptions of Muhammad’s appearance, these are not detailed enough to create a perfectly accurate image of him. Because of this, no image of Muhammad can be perfectly accurate, meaning that any image that purports to represent him is, in some way or another, deceptive.

      That’s quite a contrast with White Jesus.

    There is a fresco in the SCOTUS courtroom with a theme of “lawbringers” of history. Mohamed is featured.
