BTW wrt the first link there seems to be a pattern here...

"Mohammed, along with Buraq and Gabriel, visit Hell, and see a demon
punishing "shameless women" who had exposed their hair to
strangers. For this crime of inciting lust in men, the women are strung up
by their hair and burned for eternity. Persian, 15th century. "

"Next, Mohammed sees women strung up by hooks thrust through their
tongues by a green demon. Their crimes were to "mock" their
husbands and to leave their homes without permission. Persian, 15th
century. "

"Further on, Mohammed sees a red demon that is torturing women by
hanging them up by hooks through their breasts, as they are engulfed in
flames. The women are being punished for giving birth to illegitimate
children whom they falsely claimed were fathered by their husbands.
Persian, 15th century. "

Ouch ...somewhat strong on the rules for women only....

BTW in an odd way relevant to today's islamic-Christo-judeo clash:

"Mohammed (on the right, astride Buraq) and the Angel Gabriel (center)
talk with Abraham (left) in Paradise. Persian, 15th century. "

"Mohammed as a youth meeting the monk Bahira. From Jami' al-tavarikh
("Compendium of Chronicles"). Tabriz, Persia, c. 1315. In the
Library of the University of Edinburgh."

http://answering-islam.org/Index/B/bahira.html

"Bahira is a Nestorian monk that Muhammad was supposed to have met
during a trip returning from Syria to Mecca. His Christian name was
supposed to be Sergius or Georgius. The Muslim traditions say that Bahira
recognized, through various signs, that Muhammad is a prophet. There are
suggestions that Bahira stayed with Muhammad and taught him as alluded to
in Surah xvi.105. "Husain the commentator says on this passage that
the Prophet was in the habit of going every evening to a Christian to hear
the Taurat and Injil.""

Then:

"Mohammed meets the prophets Ismail, Is-hak and Lot in paradise. From
the Apocalypse of Muhammad, written in 1436 in Herat, Afghanistan (now in
the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris). "
