There is no central authority, no Pope, in Islam. They prohibition of images was not new or unique to Islam, but come from Judaism and Christianity, and the ban on Idolatry. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idolatry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idolatry)

Many protestant churches have a similar rule, and have no images of Jesus. But they are less likely to get angry or violent when someone else interprets the rule differently.
