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.

*Sorry:  you're all wrong.   There's a very old mosque in Damascus that not only has images of the human form, but even depicts Mohammed.   That mosque is one of the earliest in existence, much more recent than the great mosques of Cairo and Istanbul  which (otherwise) would seem to bear out Phantast's comments.   Precisely what is or isn't permitted in Islam is a minefield, partly because most Muslims speak no more Arabic than I do (i.e. none, apart from about three words) and partly because even native Arabic-speakers have a problem with texts composed fourteen centuries ago.   Unfortunately, that permits the proliferation of inaccurate  interpretations of the text.      (If you want an analogy, there are artworks, including a famous sculpture by Michelangelo in Rome, which faithfully follow a mis-translation of the Old Testament, which gave the prophet Moses horns.)   Note that I use the word "composed".   Mohammed never wrote a word.   In common with most of our ancestors who were his contemporaries (all of mine, I am quite sure), Mohammed could neither read nor write.
