The obverse of the One Dollar note is dedicated to the founder of Islam, Muhammad. Today's political Islam forbids the depiction of Muhammad, despite a long tradition of Islamic art showing his likeness. When images of Muhammad are shown in the West, there are riots and deaths across the globe: over 125 people died in riots over the cartoons published in the Danish newspaper, Jyllands Posten; Theo Van Gogh was murdered by an Islamist over a film he made critical of Islam; Salmon Rushdie is still living under the death threats of Islamic fatwas. Strict shari'a law is trying to be enforced around the world, as freedom of speech is under attack in the modern global jihad.

United States of Islam notes are similar to US currency size: measuring 2 1/2 x 5 3/4". They come packaged in standard US size archival plastic holders. Each One Dollar note is printed on cream-colored paper stock by a high resolution laser printer and is hand finished by the artist. Every note has a unique serial number.
