Strictly and taken in a fundamentalist way, the Muslim religion forbides any representation of humans, can be in paintings, sculptures, etc.
As Poser deals specially  with humans, is a 3d representation of humans, is something that cannot be allowed if you follow word by word the religion.
Of course that most of their people are not so fundamentalists, but some goverments yes it are!!!

bzzzzzt!  Wrong.  Maybe nude humans.  Or depictions of Muhammad.  But, humans, in general, depicted in art are not violations of the tenets of the Islamic faith.  Or illegal in any country, as far as I'm aware.

Actually, traditional Islam does forbid all images, not just of humans. Which is why decorative Islamic art is entirely made up of abstract patterns. But I don't think there is any modern Islamic country that forbids images in general as part of the legal code.
