	That's smart on your part not to draw Mohammed!

	@folio1701: it was mostly out of respect, partly out of fear and just a little bit because I couldn't actually find a picture of him to work from. (btw, these are all original sketches by me... except Crazy Moses, my cat did that one)

	MrChewypoo please tell your cat that the his/her/its artwork kinda looks like; Robinson Crusoe stealing giant slices of toast.

	it would have been interesting if you left the spot for mohammed completely blank

	I like the joke, but just fyi you can draw Mohammad if you want. This thing about not having images of him is a fairly recent thing, and there are lots of religions telling you to do lots of things that most of us surely have no compunction about violating -- this isn't different. He's depicted in a frieze in the Supreme Court for example.

	The thing with the ban on decipting Mohammad is more of a measure against idolatry, the former religion of Arabs. They thought that people would soon be worshipping Mohammad's pictures and figures, instead of Allah, and they put a ban on them. But in years, the true meaning of the ban has been forgotten and thought to be under general blasphemy sins. Because of that, there's a very few number of Mohammad pictures and most are far from accurate, and they differ greatly according to one artist to another, therefore it's really hard to put a representative picture. Whereas Jesus drawings and statues can be seen almost in every single church, and all look very similar, since that there's a general agreement on what Jesus looks like (albeit I don't think that's really accurate either, but that's another subject)

	@bumbles: You asked precisely which religion considered Jesus to be God. I'm not sure if you were joking, but Christianity quite obviously does consider Jesus to be God. Of course, Christianity also doesn't forbid the depiction of Jesus, so markyb's point fails regardless.

	I thought the "out of respect" one was Jim Jones... I think I was a tad bit off there...

This was good fun. I kept trying to get Kurt Vonnegut to match Koresh to no avail. Was somewhat surprised to see a few of these. John Wesley or Ganesha could stand in for Benny Hinn who is severely unknown, should you wish to switch it up. :)

	Thanks for posting; this was a really fun quiz. However, I disagree with the inclusion of Gandhi in this quiz. He was a political and ideological leader, not a religious figure. Otherwise, excellent quiz.

	Could you maybe accept Muhammad?

	xrebel:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 08:30 GMT		6 points
	cowardly? first off, how would you even begin to draw the prophet muhammad...there are no historical images or drawings of him that can be a reference.. all you have to rely on is a stereotypical image of middle eastern man with a beard and a turban... that could be representative of any biblical prophet from jesus to moses to abraham..to the persian prophets mani and zoroaster. all the way to the gurus of sikhism like guru nanak or the early sages of hinduism...

	Although I agree with Markyb's comments, I feel that the problem isn't 'tip-toeing around muslims' but tip-toeing around religious extremists. Christianity certainly has a lot to answer for...

	I'd say Falwell is more of a political figure than a religious one.

	ari18:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 03:40 GMT		6 points
	Commenting on the drawing Mohammed debate (against my better judgement): I think it would be difficult to draw him here, since Mohammed isn't recognizable from an image. In a different context, however, where it is clear who the image is meant to represent, I don't think it should be a problem to draw him. If Muslims don't want to draw him, that is their choice, but that belief is not a limitation on non-Muslims (or Muslims who choose not to follow this rule). Simply drawing Mohammed is not discrimination or oppression of Muslims. If Muslims find such drawings offensive, I apologize but sometimes the result of having free speech as we do in the US and UK is that you sometimes have to tolerate speech (or images) that you don't like. People like Falwell say things that offend me all the time, but as long as they don't hurt anyone, they have the right to express themselves.

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depictions_of_Muhammad Ha, like that would settle it. I think you made the right choice, some people do not believe that Muhammed should be depicted, and find it sinful; just like as a jew, I would find it offensive if you had used the tetragramaton

	Oh dear, religious intolerance strikes the comments section again. Noone 'tiptoes' around anyone - the only question is whether you believe fellow human beings are worthy of your respect or not, regardless of the person they are. MCP, personally, I felt you chose the very best way to depict mohammed, regardless of whether or not depicting him is or isn't allowed under the muslim faith. It was a good clue, showed a good wit, and demonstrated an appropriate level of tolerance, whether you agree with the muslim beliefs or not. Well done.

	@njb042: How precisely would anyone use the tetragrammaton for anything? Scholarship can't agree on the correct vowel points for it... It's really not the same thing in the least, especially since Jews DO write the tetragrammaton, just pronounce it as Adonai. People going around saying "Yahweh" or "Jehova" are more misinformed than offensive if you ask me. P.S. you misspelled tetragrammaton.

	I'm happy to see that Jesus is the number one recognized religious figure here. Even "badly drawn" Jesus is recognizable to 99.4% of people. If there had been a picture of Muhammad, I wouldn't have recognized him anyway. I've never seen the guy.

	ottoman:	Sep 1st, 2011 at 03:33 GMT		3 points
	I'm not a huge fall of all the random late 20th-century evangelical protestant leaders. Maybe some asian religious leaders like Mahavira or Guru Nanak, or else more modern leaders of some other non-christian religions represented already? And I don't think anyone would actually get pissed off if you did a drawing of muhammed(a halo of flame is the standard shorthand for "This is muhammed", so that would work), but the way you did it is funnier and probably more gettable for people who aren't familar with that paticular iconographical convention.

	Even if you did choose to draw Muhammad, you still couldn't because there aren't any pictures of him anyway....

	Rooster:	Sep 2nd, 2011 at 17:34 GMT		-2 points
	There are plenty of pictures of Muhammad in Salafist art. And yes, it is cowardly not to do so.

	MasterNachosII:	Sep 3rd, 2011 at 01:59 GMT		2 points
	Just saying- if you HAD drawn Muhammad, I would have had no idea who it was. Unless you did the thing they do with the fire-for-a-face thing.

	You know, I had no idea who George Fox was when I took the quiz. Thought it might be William Penn. Now that I've looked it up that's kind of funny. (Also sad considering I graduated from William Penn University not knowing who the founder of the Quaker church/Society of Friends was.) Also kinda looked like Joseph Smith.

	In your instructions you say "Good luck and dog bless". Am I the only person who found this offensive?

	Fallwell sort of reminds me of Drew Carey. You should put Darwin on for Atheism or something, Atheists love him.

	I understand your point markyb, but we shouldn't equate Islam with death to non-believers. Extremist Muslims are an extreme minority, and represent less than 1% of all Muslims. Also, throughout history, more people were killed in the name of Jesus than any other religious figure. I'm assuming your comment is against the Muslim extremists, and was not meant to encapsulate Islam as a violent faith. Also, Lao Zi and Confucius (perhaps considered god-like to some) are not truly religious figures. Confucianism and Daoism/Taoism are essentially philosophies/belief systems, although evidence exists that likens Daoism/Taoism to religion. As for Buddhism, Siddartha Gautama was a human, and had a philosophy that became deified over the years. But I suppose the same could be said about Jesus to any non-Christian. What is and what is not "religion" is such an argumentative issue though. But in my opinion, Daoism/Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism are philosophies, not religions. Great drawings by the way.
