Raphael there is simply no evidence for that.
There is no Sharia law which puts images of prophets above other human images.
This supposed prohibition of the image of the prophet, doesn't hold any water.
It's a tempest in a teapot, created by a few extremists.
By the way, there have been images of the Holy Family, displayed openly in the private apartments of many Muslim families for centuries. Not that the Holy Family holds any higher place in this situation than any other human, only to illustrate for you, that the matter is only controversial here and now.
Which should be instructive.

Yes your last mail indeed is very instructive as it tells me, that you have no clue about Islam. In fact the Holy Family is very important for Muslims. Jesus is one of their prophets second only to Muhammad in importance. Mary is mentioned more times in the Qur'an than in the entire New Testament. (i.e. Surah 19)
