well, yes and no. I've seen medieval depictions of humans in Turkish art. Mainly historical paintings, or religious ones. The odd thing (well, to a Westerner), is that Mohammeds' body and clothing are portrayed, but his face is like a white sheet over it. 

There are ads with people in some Islamic countries, it depends on how open they are. Saudi Arabia is very strict (Wahabi Sunnis, sort of the Muslim version of Southern Baptists..;). No women driving, Islam is the state religion, and conversion to other religions can be punished severely. Religious police roam the streets with canes, and punish anything they don't like with harsh words or worse. I don't know if Poser is specifically banned there, but I wouldn't be surprised that if they knew it was out there, they would ban it. I haven't been to Saudi Arabia (never closer than Istanbul), but my father has, and I've heard stories.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
