The Journey of Prophet Muhammad
May 15th, 2007, in News, by PatungCirebon is rocked by a Muhammad photo scandal.
On 9th May police in Cirebon, West Java raided a number of movie stalls in search of a VCD entitled “The Journey of Prophet Muhammad” on the cover of which was a picture of a bearded Arab man. The police managed to find one copy of the tale.
Although the contents of the video did not show any pictures or representations of Muhammad a leader of the MUI in Cirebon, Mahfudz Bakri, worries that: mediaindo
People will think that the man [on the VCD cover] is Muhammad.
Given the fact that:
Islam forbids any visual depictions of Muhammad.
The video is produced by PT Merak Cipta Indokreasi, but in its original form the cover features only a map of the city of Mecca, not an Arab man. Police are still investigating. detik

May be an idea to have another spin-off for Law & Order.

OMG. If people actually believed that, it’s like the dumbest people ever lived on earth.
You guys probably know why. -

I reckon that muhammad is still here, living among us. Travelling from place to place. Lately he likes to hang around with Elvis. Maybe they’re uh-uh, you know. I don’t know, don’t ask me. And yes, it was him on the cover. People need money to go on with their life, right?

I’m just curious, why pictures or representations of Muhammad are not allowed to be shown? Thanks in advance.

You know what I think is even more insulting – these competitions that seem to be really popular – you know, the ones where little children are played off against each other to see who can give the best Islamic sermon and those Koran reciting competitions. Seems like people are turning their religion into another commodity. But, then again, it hasn’t come up for any criticism by the FPI of MUI so it must be okay.

Once God gave 5000 rupiahs to Prophet Muhammad and Jesus. Both go to marketplace and separated. later in the evening they come back home and God asked them how to spend 5000:
Jesus: I paid the man called Mat kodak to take my picture.
Muhammad: I paid man under the tree to shave my hair.Thats why there is no picture of prophet muhammad, and Jesus got a gondrong hair.

@oide.. lol
But seriously speaking however, we don’t need a camera to take someone’s picture. A very talented artist can capture that somewhat very close to the real person. But capturing a voice, that does need a hardware equipment. -

Do I need to wonder why a more sensible, reasoned and intelligent version of Islam is so difficult to place into these peoples heads, when their leaders are so intellectually challenged?

Islam does not forbid the depiction of Muhammad, and I challenge anybody to prove using the Words of God, Al Quran to prove that it does!
Even if the people do believe it’s Muhammad, so what?
If the people are stupid enough to think that a picture on a DVD sleeve is really Muhammad, then they seriously need remedial education, but of course if they were educated and intelligent they would end up rejecting the nonsense that their so called religious leaders keep telling them, no wonder the Islamic Authorities don’t want to push for good educational standards in this country.

So, did the Cirebon police already find out if this man is really the prophet and who put his picture on this VCD’s cover?
-
Bas,
If it’s really The Prophet, then only God could have put his picture on the VCD cover, better go and by one straight away, it could be a guaranteed ticket to heaven! 🙂
Peace

Yup, I checked it out. It teaches you to mix this and that, tug it into a backpack and then KABOOM! You are standing outside heaven’s gate. Surely a guaranteed ticket to heaven! 🙂
*just joking, no offence intended. Just can’t resist writting it whenever moslem mentioned ticket to heaven.*

Well, since Muhammad is a sex maniac, perhaps he is now on a journey to a rows of brothels.

I’ve often thought why is that?
If there are no pictures of Mohamed it stands to reason, that nobody knows what he looked like, so you could have a picture of anybody and who’s to say who it is? even pictures, paintings, sculptures Etc., of Christ are only what people think he looked like, there are even some depictions of Christ being black! but a lot of Arabs are black, so who’s right?

Uhuh that’s a serious matter we have here. I am happy to see the Indonesian police authorities have promptly reacted and are already thouroughly investigating the case.
