How come this guy's books are loaded with every kind of illustrations?

Umm, the prohibition on graven images (found in Judaism in Christianity as well) isn't against pictures, it's against sacrilege and idolatry. I believe the Islamic interpretation -- well, at least within some traditions since there are many different schools of religious thought in Islam -- is that you shouldn't illustrate religious themes and you shouldn't worship idols. Islamic art has had pictures for a long time.
