Well, really fundamentalist whackdoodle strains of Islam actually go so far as to claim that no pictorial depiction of any living thing is allowed. They just get really extra touchy about old Mr. M.

Jury's out on how, exactly, that would stand up to things like television and photographs. But I'm not an imam and I don't have the entirety of the hadiths in front of me so I don't fuckin' know. The whole thing is obviously wonky on its face.
