The polemic has been caused by two images of Mohammed, Islam’s prophet, which appear in a History’s text book of the first year of pre-Universitary phase, used in the Spanish institute in Tetouan, Moroccan north.

According to Moroccan newspaper ‘Al Masae’, parents of the alumni of the Secondary Education Institute Juan de la Cierva from Tetouan, have complained to the authorities about the Mohammed’s images. The mayority of Moroccans are Sunni, whose tradition forbids graphic representations of the Prophet.

A high official from the Moroccan Eduaction’s Ministery assured the newspaper they are investigating this to take the necessary measures.

The images contained in “Mohammed, Islam and the Arab World”, published by Spanish firm Anaya, come from the Arab world and are similar to the medieval codes or Bibles’ images which can be found in Europe.

One of the images shows Mohammed teaching his disciples, while in the other the prophet is shown by the Kaaba, the main Islamic sacred place and of pilgrimage.

Well, we continue with the supposedly forbidden images of the Prophet, images which were drawn in the Middle Ages, when they supposedly weren’t forbidden. So what does this lead us? Are we before the Midlle Ages?
