And really, what kind of Muslim would propose a Muhammad statue?

Isn't pictures/statues kind of against one of the Muslim principles. If I remember correctly its that Muhammad didn't want glorification via image to become a centripetal part of Islam like it had become in Christianity. Though to get around this writers wrote the arabic language in calligraphy so that the words could become pictures when put in the right order. Please correct me if I'm wrong, it has been a long time since World History and Human Geography.

Exactly. Though a few sects are less strict about it, and the occasional loophole is tolerated, depictions of Muhammad are seen as sacrilege. Which makes the whole "banning statues of Muhammad" thing so strange, as if it is meant to create controversy rather than address any real statues.
