Imagenes de Mahoma a lo largo de la historia
Controversy over the publication of images depicting Mohammed in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten has erupted into an international furor. While Muslims worldwide are calling for a boycott of Denmark and any other nation whose press reprints the cartoons, Europeans are trying to stand up for Western principles of freedom of speech and not cave in to self-censorship in the name of multiculturalism and fear.Artículo completo y amplia colección de imágenes del profeta aquí: Mohammed Image Archive.
While the debate rages, an important point has been overlooked: despite the Islamic prohibition against depicting Mohammed under any circumstances, hundreds of paintings, drawings and other images of Mohammed have been created over the centuries, with nary a word of complaint from the Muslim world. The recent cartoons in Jyllands-Posten are nothing new; it's just that no other images of Mohammed have ever been so widely publicized.

Quizá haya algún tesoro / muy dentro de mi entraña. / ¡Quién sabe si yo tengo / diamante en mi montaña / o tan sólo un pequeño pedazo de carbón! / Los árboles del bosque de mi isla / sois vosotros, mis versos.
Salen los niños alegres / de la escuela, / poniendo en el aire tibio / de abril canciones tiernas. / ¡Qué alegría tiene el hondo / silencio de la calleja! / Un silencio hecho pedazos / por risas de plata nueva.
