As-salaam Alikum,
Brother Dan and sister Senorita, It's not about if he will respect our wishes or not, if he will take it off or not. I know the description of the Prophet (SAAWS) and that picture has no resemblance of him what so ever, for example: His (SAAWS) beard was longer and reaches beyond his (SAAWS) chest, also his hair was long beyond his shoulders, I will not describe his (SAAWS) face but It was also different.
As I said it's not about what we want or wish, it is about this:
Sahih Muslim.
Book 1. Faith.
Book 001, Hadith Number 0079.
------------------------------
Chapter : Concerning the facts that Interdiction against abominable is a part of Faith, that Faith increases and diminishes; enjoining that which is good and for bidding that which is abominable are obligatory(acts).
It is narrated on the authority of Tariq b. Shihab: It was Marwan who initiated (the practice) of delivering khutbah (address) before the prayer on the 'Id day. A man stood up and said: Prayer should precede khutbah. He (Marwan) remarked, This (practice) has been done away with. Upon this Abu Sa'id remarked: <b>This man has performed (his duty) laid on him</b>. I heard the Messenger of Allah as saying: He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.
It's about performing your duties as soon as you see something abominable. It's an obligation on you to obey the Prophet (SAAWS) order and try to do something about it.
As you can see there are different ways to do that and every way is a different level of Iman and strength.
The Prophet (SAAWS) knew that there are different types of people and their level of Faith (Iman) and strength is different, so he gave the 3 choices to which they can act upon, but after that there is no Faith (Iman), meaning that once you knew about something abominable and you choose not to do anything about it, not even hate it in your heart then there is no Iman within you what so ever.
In the Hadith, Marwan (a Muslim) preformed something different than the Prophet (SAAWS) used to do which is considered beda', as you can see there were other people there but only one man stood up and denounced it (I am sure that others hatted it within there hearts), by doing so he followed the Hadith and performed his duties. He didn't care if Marwan continued with his beda' or not, all he cared about is to denounce it by one of the 3 choices so that when he will be asked on judgment day why didn't he do something about it when he had the chance (and Allah (SWT) knows that he did) he will say: Ya Allah, I did and tried to stop it, and he will be rewarded for doing so.
Insh'a Allah we will all have some Iman within our hearts, Ameen.
As-salaam Alikum.
