Oranous Young Mohammed

According to the godweb site, "An Iranian woman artist Oranous (who is a Muslim and lives in Tehran) created this iconic painting of a young Muhammed and is selling it online. Though this would seem to violate Islamic and Iranian law, some suggest that this particular painting is not forbidden because it depicts a young Muhammed before he was visited by the Angel Gabriel, which means that at this stage in his life he is not yet the Prophet."

Oranous.org is down at the time of this posting. A victim of censorship or just forgot to update her credit card on file with godaddy?
