• Like the Muslims, Leo III argued that God had prohibited religious images in the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make any graven image, or any likeness or any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” Iconophiles claimed that the images were a form of worship.
