Don’t take this the wrong way Brother but I have a comment to make.
In Islam I know it is forbidden to make images of animate beings and that to show an image of Muhammad (pbuh) would be just as bad. So why would you post a picture of what people think Jesus looks like? Wouldn’t you agree that using images of Jesus (pbuh) or other Prophets is just as wrong as someone coming up with a picture of what they think Muhammad (pbuh) looked like? I think it’s best we Muslims avoid any image that someone came up with to depict a Prophet of Allah.
“as far as I am aware there is no prohibition on using the images of Christ created by Christians”
i understand what you mean but what if a Christian created one of what he thinks Muhammad (pbuh) looked like?
I think its best to avoid altogether any images of any prophets created by men and not use them at all for any purpose. That’s just my two cents.
The white skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed Jesus was, in part used by the Europeans as a tool to subdue the African slaves. African slaves were forced to convert to Christianity upon arrival in the ‘new world’ and in doing so, a white Jesus who looked like their slave master affirmed the concept of the master being a god to the downtrodden and uneducated African slaves. It is indeed a shame that in today’s time, many a black Christian still believe Jesus is a white man who is going to come down from the heavens and save them….brainwashing at its best!
Documented by the Roman authorities? So, there exists a historically verifiable source, outside of the New Testament, that describes what Jesus looked like, and it describes him as having golden hair and blue eyes? Since you have access to this source, please provide a link. As for the hadith that describes Jesus’ complexion as being “reddish”..lots of Arabs have reddish complexion, some are as white complexioned as Europeans. Now the golden hair and the blue eyes, that presents a major problem, as such traits would be an anomaly to the region, thus are contrivances of those who wished to create Jesus in their own image.
Whether Jesus had red complexion, curly hair and a broad chest. or other i m sure he did no look like the picture of him featured above, there are load of pictures o different types of Jesus in different christian people. He definitely did not look like cesar borgia s h has been depicted in many Christians today. the thing is when the false messiah com and tries to pretend he is Jesus. This is when the mass will fall into his trap because they are waiting for a cesar Borgia lookalike and if he appears in front of them, they will accept his kufr straight away. Because they don’t know how he really looks like.
There seem to be a problem here. As far as we know or have been made to beleive jesus look like the above but how do we recocile the following verse: Matthew 11:19 (NIV)
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
so those who actually saw him do not share the same opinion than h was thin and slim. because in a few places we see Jesus asking for food.
John 21:5 He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. there seem to be a discrepancy here . some versions say do you have any fish?
other versions say do you have any meat?
and other versions say do you have anything to eat,
so here he does no mind, fish , meat, vegetables he is just a hungry god.
John 21:12
Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
here again there are some discrepancies as some versions like he KJV say
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
Again a hungry god who has to be fed. Reminds me of the Hindus who put food for their idols
Luke 24:41
While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
once again some say do you have any meat. doesn’t matter as long a god is fed, whether breakfast or dinner. or meat met fish, or fruit and veg God has to be fed.
so was he thin and slim or was he fat and question to be answered by Christians. was God drunkard? Not me or muslims saying but the unholy bible. How much more of a mockery can they make of god?
Matthew 11:19 (NIV)
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Calling Christians 
I agree, although apparently, according to Muhammad “jesus had red complexion, curly hair and a broad chest.” Bukhari 4:55:648
Perhaps you can explain how a middle easterner is red or how Muhammad knew he had curly hair and a broad chest?

I understand your point of view, but as far as I am aware there is no prohibition on using the images of Christ created by Christians.
I’m merely attempting to convey or illustrate a point and I’m not trying to denigrate the position of our Master ‘Aissa alayhi as salaam.

The golden haired ruddy complexioned blue eyed depiction of Jesus is documented by the Roman authorities of the time. – look it up.
