Islam discourages its followers from portraying any prophet in artistic representations, lest the seed of idol worship be planted.
Depicting Mohammad carrying a sword reinforced long-held stereotypes of Muslims as intolerant conquerors.
Building documents and tourist pamphlets referred to Mohammad as "the founder of Islam," when he is, more accurately, the "last in a line of prophets that includes Abraham, Moses and Jesus."

For clarification;
Any statue or drawings of the prophet and his companion is forbidden.
