Those Muslims who reject images of all human beings, based on their interpretation of Sharia law are consistent. That doesn't mean that their interpretation, imho, is a mainstream one within the Muslim world. Are Muslim newspapers entirely without human photographs? When they advertise burkhas do they show drawings of women wearing them? Are there pictures of the President of Iran in the Iranian newspapers?
Photos and paintings come under a slightly different ruling.
