But historically images of Muhammed have been strongly discouraged, generally, he has not been depicted.
Which means there is no commonly accepted depiction of him - which makes putting an image in a prominent place problematic, since it is giving any depiction undue weight.
Personally I feel that what depictions there are should be in a section (and possibly break-out article) about such, but not at the head of the article. However, I'm certainly not going to go there and do that; I have sufficient arguments already.

An interesting data point is our article on [[Bigfoot]]. Despite the dearth of usable images of the creature, there has been quite a concerted effort to keep all "artistic renderings" out from the article.
