ISNA Canada's Icky "We Love You, Mo" Event

We are told that the reason why Islam prohibits images of its founder or other prophets is so Muslims won't accidentally think it's okay to idolize humans when their worship must be reserved for Allah alone.

Okay, then how do you explain this?



Blatant adoration, no?

Who needs a picture when your "beloved" is obviously so, well, "beloved"?

Update: One of the speakers at the ISNA event is Abdullah Idris Ali, about whom Discover the Networks has this to say:

Abdullah Idris Ali served as president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) from 1992-1997. ISNA enforces Wahhabi theological writ in some 1,200 American mosques, determining who will speak at every Friday prayer, and which literature will be distributed there. Ali is a member of the board of trustees for the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), a Saudi Wahhabi financial institution that, according to a CAIR report, owns about 27 percent of the estimated 1,200 mosques in the United States. Wahhabism is the most extreme, intolerant, violent form of Islam. Ali is also on the board of advisors for the American Muslim Council (AMC), whose founder and leader, Abdul Rahman Alamoudi, has publicly proclaimed his support for the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. Moreover, Alamoudi was arrested in September 2003 for illegally failing to notify the U.S. State Department of his numerous trips to Libya; illegally accepting $10,700 from the Libyan mission to the United Nations; and using two American and one Yemeni passport for at least ten of those trips.

Niiiice!
