Yep, I could do it (I'm an accomplished photo-realistic artist), but I
think it would be counterproductive: it would reduce the believability of
us in the west pretty quickly once the deception was found out. I have a
feeling we are gonna need to trade upon truth and reliability. Also, he is
already disliked by many in Islam.
But I like the ingenious nature of the idea.
