and does the book propose this view? if not that Mohammed was indeed the last Prophet (as we believe), then that he was blessed with revelations? the view is just as dependent on the content of the book as it is on the illustrations. If the book presents us with a 'supposed' view, that is, if it fosters debate over the truth/accuracy of Mohammed's status, then I see your point. However, if the book is written as if declaring that it is absolute truth that Mohammed was appointed by Allah as the last Prophet, then the illustrations showing his face as light would be completely in order. There is a combination of elements here... and until we have more information, the debate will go on and on and on.
(of course, healthy debate is always a good thing)
