ACTUALLY, historically speaking and in most islamic traditions, it's no big deal. There have been many and varied portrayals of Mohammed through the centuries. Some have no problem with his portrayal, some insist that portrayals must either blank or shield his face, some insist that only Mohammed may not be depicted, and some - like the nutjobs who love to throw paint over billboards advertising women's cosmetics - insist that the portrayal of ANY human face is blasphemy.
But little things like the truth rarely get in the way of the ravings of religious nutjobs, of course.

No, they won't be, creating an image of Mohammed is generally prohibited and sacrilegious.
