I wanted to mention that the Chinese encyclopedia includes an article about The history of Islam whic has this name "阿拉伯帝国" in Chinese. That article contains a claimed picture to be for the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and this might not be good for the majority of muslims, since drawing a picture for the prophet considered to be a fake thing and an insult for the islamic faith. Unfortunatily I can't read Chinese, and going to that article was by chance so I didn't want to edit it by myself, because the admins might think I was playing with theencycopedia. Muslims like to have good relations with the Chinese nation, and I want to be a friend with them too. so take care and have a nice time.
