Dear Nayzak

This is a letter about Islam's depiction.  DeviantArt user Nayzak requested on his homepage that anyone who wants to vilify Islam should do it on their own page.  Personally, having thoroughly studied Islam, I know that Islam needs about as much vilifying as Cruella de Vil.  What irks me is that Nayzak is devoted to the complete opposite: an attempt to make Cruella appear somehow saintly.  Here's my problem with that: there are 99 dalmatian puppies in Israel right now who REALLY can't afford to have Cruella being given the benefit of sympathy, as she continues trying to rip off their flesh.  Therefore, here on my own page, I hold Nayzak accountable for a dishonest depiction of an exceedingly wicked doctrine.  Is it fair to say he painted lipstick on a pig?  Not quite . . . I'd say lipstick on a beast with iron teeth is more accurate, but it doesn't sound right.

For those of you reading who frequent Nayzak's art gallery: welcome to the other side of the picture.  If you sympathize with the sweet and magical world of Islam he has conjured up for you, I'd advise that you shift this investment into something else that won't drop out from under you with every reality check . . . something like My Little Pony.  Okay, maybe not, but it's a start.  My reasons for suggesting this are listed below.  If Islam is such a "religion of peace," try telling me that all THIS is out of context.

VIOLENCE (Disbelievers = mischief-makers)
Qur’an 2:11-2:12 “And when it is said unto [the disbelievers]: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only. Are not [the disbelievers] indeed the mischief-makers? But they perceive not."
AND . . .
Qur'an 3:62 "This is the true account, the true narrative, the true explanation: There is no ilah except Allah; and Allah - He is the Mighty, the Wise. And if they turn away, then lo! Allah is aware of the corrupters, the mischief-makers.”
CONNECTED TO:
Qur'an 5:33 "The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive after corruption, MAKING MISCHIEF in the land is murder, execution, crucifixion, the cutting off of hands and feet on opposite sides, or they should be imprisoned. That is their degradation and disgrace in this world. And a great torment of an awful doom awaits them in the hereafter."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 2:216 "Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims), though you dislike it.

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 3:11 "The punishment of Allah is severe. So tell the unbelieving infidels: 'You will surely be vanquished, seized by Allah, and driven to Hell. How bad a preparation.'"
CONNECTED TO:
Qur'an 5:72 : "They are surely infidels who blaspheme and say; 'God is the Christ, the Messiah, the son of Mary."

PROOF THAT ANY VERSE SAYING “ALLAH WILL ATTACK THE INFIDELS” MEANS “MUSLIM KILLERS WILL ATTACK THE INFIDELS, AND ALLAH WILL TAKE THE CREDIT”
Qur'an 8:17 "It is not you [Muslims] who slew them; it was Allah who killed them. It was not you (Muhammad) who threw (a handful of dust), it was not your act, but it was Allah who threw (the sand into the eyes of the enemy at Badr) in order that He might test the [Muslim] Believers by doing them a gracious favor of His Own: for Allah is He Who hears and knows."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 3:140-141 " If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers). This is so that Allah may test the faithful and destroy the unbelieving infidels."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 4:71 "Believers, take your precautions, and advance in detachments or go (on expeditions) together in one troop. There are among your men who would tarry behind (not fighting in Allah's Cause). If a misfortune befalls you, they say: 'Allah favored us in that we were not present among them.'" Qur'an 4:74 "Let those who fight in Allah's Cause sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the Cause of Allah, whether he is slain or gets victory - We shall give him a great reward."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 4:95 "Not equal are believers who sit home and receive no hurt and those who fight in Allah's Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who fight with their possessions and bodies to those who sit home. Those who fight He has distinguished with a special reward."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 4:104 "And do not relent in pursuing the enemy. If you are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships; but you have hope from Allah, while they have none."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 5:94 "Believers, Allah will make a test for you in the form of a little game in which you reach out your hands for your lances that He may know who fears. Any who fails this test will have a grievous penalty, a painful punishment."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 8:12 "Your Lord inspired the angels [fellow demons] with the message: 'I am with you. Go and give firmness to the Believers. I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone.

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 8:59-60 "The unbelieving infidels should not think that they can bypass Islam; surely they cannot escape. Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them not known to you."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 8:65 "O Prophet, urge the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred. If a hundred, they will slaughter a thousand of the unbelieving infidels: for these are a people devoid of understanding."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 8:67 "It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughtered in the land. You desire the lure of the frail goods of this world while Allah desires the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty."

Qur'an 8:73 "The unbelieving infidels are allies. Unless you (Muslims of the whole world unite and) aid each other (fighting as allies, as one united block under one Caliph to make Allah's religion victorious), there will be confusion, anarchy, and discord on earth, great mischief and corruption. Those [good Muslims] who accepted Islam, left their homes to fight in Allah's Cause (al-Jihad), as well as those who give them asylum, shelter, and aid - these are (all) [good Muslim] Believers: for them is pardon and bountiful provision (in Paradise)."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 9:2 "Go for four months, backwards and forwards, [i.e., travel freely] throughout the land, but know that you cannot weaken Allah or escape. Allah will disgrace the unbelievers and put those who reject Him to shame."
(And because of Qur’an 8:17, we know that “Allah” means “Muslim militants.”)

VIOLENCE (YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE)
Qur'an 9:5 "When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive [enslave them], beleaguer them [torture them], and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war. But if they relent, [and become Muslims by...] performing their devotional obligations and paying the zakat tax, then open the way. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

VIOLENCE (RECONFIRMS “ALLAH” MEANS “JIHAD TERRORISTS”)
Qur'an 9:14 "Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, lay them low, and cover them with shame. He will help you over them and heal the breasts of Believers."

SUPER VIOLENCE (YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE)
Qur'an 9:29 "Fight those who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, who do not forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the People of the Book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the Jizyah tribute tax in submission, feeling themselves subdued and brought low."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 9:41 "March forth, (equipped) with light or heavy arms, and strive with your goods and your lives in the Cause of Allah. That is best for you, if you knew."

VIOLENCE (AGAINST PEACEFUL MUSLIMS)
Qur'an 9:52 "Say: 'Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things (martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you that Allah will send his punishment of doom from Himself, or by our hands.' Say: 'Pay your contribution for the Cause willingly or unwillingly: for you are indeed rebellious and wicked.'

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 9:73 "O Prophet, strive hard [fighting] against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell, an evil refuge indeed."

GOOD MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS
Qur'an 9:88 "The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight [jihad] with their wealth and lives (in Allah's Cause)."

Qur'an 9:111 "Allah has purchased the believers, their lives and their goods. For them (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise). They fight in Allah's Cause, and slay others and are slain, they kill and are killed.”

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 9:123 "Believers, fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him."

VIOLENCE
Qur'an 24:1 "(This is) a surah which We have revealed and made obligatory and in which We have revealed clear communications that you may be mindful. For the woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah. And let a party of the Believers witness their punishment."

VIOLENCE (Do Allah and Yahweh sound like the same god to you?)
Qur'an 40:10 "Lo, those who disbelieve will be informed by proclamation: 'Verily Allah's hatred of you is more terrible than your hatred of yourselves, seeing that you were called to the Faith [of submission] and you refused.'""

VIOLENCE (Muhsin Kahn)
Qur'an 47:4 "So, when you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity (free them) or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (is the command / you must continue until the infidels submit to Islam)
(Extra: violence is rewarded)
Qur’an 47:4 “If Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He orders armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds.”

VIOLENCE (ISLAM HATES PEACE, AS LONG AS THERE ARE STILL NON-MUSLIMS)
Qur’an 47:34-35 “Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allah and then died while they were disbelievers - never will Allah forgive them. So be not weak and ask not for peace (from the enemies of Islam), while you are having the upper hand. Allah is with you, and will never decrease the reward of your good deeds.”
