Shiites often depict their important religious figures and martyrs, but with the face replaced with a bright glow.

It's also not uncommon to depict e.g. Ali with a face. Sunni salafist movements are the ones that are fanatically against such art, and they are quite savvy with propaganda and backed by very powerful friends on the peninsula and elsewhere, such as the backers of the Gulf dictatorships in London and Washington.
