text: do you think religous figures should be illustrated? well many people question why muslims are so angry over the cartoons. the answer is to prevent idolatry and they also insinuated terrorism. they want you to pray to god and not the picture that is in front of you. i believe in society, pictures of jesus is creating many problems. black people want to know why he isn't played by black actors. do you think it is easier for religious figures not to be depicted by pictures? i mean have you thought about it; are you praying to the pictures or to jesus and god? i don't  get offended when some on makes a cartoon about jesus. i may pray for the individual if it's something bad. but i'll tell you this, you have to admire the faith of those muslims that stand up for what they believe.
