Back in my bartending days I used to work with a Muslim guy and a Jewish guy. Friday nights, when the place closed, we'd head over to one of the local places that was still open and order a couple drinks. The first time Aziz joined us I asked why he was drinking with us and his answer was simple, "I am Muslim here, " he said pointing to his head. "He is Jewish there, " pointing to JP's head. "You are atheist there, " he said pointing to my head. "Up here we are all different, but here, " he said pointing to his heart, "we are all the same."

I said he was just equivocating or engaging in sophistry but really didn't care because in the end it really didn't matter. If the three of us could get together over a couple beers, be friends and respect each other there was no reason to have to bring religion into the mix.

See, someone should write a holy book about that guy.

I've got this Jewish friend. Only a little over five feet tall, built like a twig. Tits the size of your head.

http://nayzak.deviantart.com/journal/Visitors-Guidelines-221415032

Sorry if this is posted before, but he made a fucking guideline on making comments on his profile.

Assalaamu alaikum [peace be to you],

Most of my work here has religious theme. and everyone knows that whenever religion is concerned, disagreement and debates arise. there is nothing wrong with disagreements. but when freedom of expression is abused with the lack of manners and good conduct, religious discussions can become quite ugly. and instead of benefiting from our differences and spreading tolerance and peace, we find ourselves spreading hate and widening the gap between us.
In order to keep things in a civilized and respectful manner in my pages, I made these guidelines for the visitors and guests.

Notice that some of these rules may seem a little strict. I was obliged to put them here because I encountered many visitors who used freedom of speech in order to write aggressive comments, hateful opinions and disrespectful statements. these rules aren't here to block people's freedom, but just to guide it in a way that is respectful and beneficial for everybody. if you are a respectful and nice person, you may not even need to have a look at these rules.

a.1- your words will reflect the size of your brain. if you try to insult me, Islam, the holy prophets of Islam, or anybody else... I will not insult you. but I will flag your comment as spam. I want my page clean.

a.2- you have the right to disagree. but in my page, if you want to voice your opinion, you must be respectful.

a.3- I don't like disagreement and long walls of text written on my PROFILE page. if you have an opinion that requires a long discussion, feel free to do it by note, in my journals or any deviation pages. but NOT ON MY PROFILE PAGE.

a.4- all kinds of racism are not allowed.

a.5- If I tell somebody I don't want to argue about something or continue a discussion because I feel it's going nowhere or that it's pointless, I wish they would understand. I may not always be ready to talk about subjects that only cause disagreement. but if they continue commenting, I have the right to flag their comments as spams.

a.6- I have the right to hide any comment see inappropriate in my pages.

a.7- if you disagree with one of my article, and you want to make a rebuttal. please do it in your page and send me a link to read. I don't like long rebuttals written in the comments section.

For non-Muslims:
b.1- spreading misconceptions and lies about Islam is not allowed. if you don't know Islam well, be a good learner.

b.2- writing links to anti-islamic websites and websites with lies about Islam is not allowed. the comments with links will be flagged as spams.

b.3- writing links to extremist and terrorist websites or extremist Youtube videos or articles that spread violence, hate and a distorted image of Islam is not allowed. I don't allow extremist propaganda in my pages.

b.4- attacking Islam or any other religion is not allowed. you have right to express a civilized opinion in a polite way. but you don't have right to flame and attack.

b.5- it doesn't matter if you respect the prophets of Islam or not. but in my page, you must show some respect and not write any offensive comment about them (or any religious symbols).

b.6- if you believe Islam is bad or evil, that's your opinion. I respect it although it's wrong. don't care about it and I am not interested to see it written in my page. your page can do the job.

b.7- I never go to attack people's beliefs in their pages. so I appreciate you don't come to attack my belief in my pages. if you don't like my artworks, don't watch them. if you don't like my articles, don't read them. simple, no?

b.8- don't judge me based on what extremists and terrorists do or based on what you red in books or watch on TV. everyone is accountable for his words, actions and behavior.

b.9- please don't preach your religion in my pages. if you want to preach, DO IT IN YOUR OWN PAGE. if you want to me to see your preaching in your page, invite me by note, and I will be glad to visit. but only if it doesn't attack my faith. I mean, if you spread a bad image about Islam in one side and the beauty of your religion in another side, then no need to invite me. I am not interested.
if you want to discuss religion and compare between yours and mine in a civilized discussion, I don't mind. but I usually don't do debates.

b.10- Blasphemous comments against Allah[The one and only God] are not welcomed. even if you don't believe in God, you don't have to try to offend those who believe in him.

b.11- quoting quranic verses or hadith out of context is not acceptable. your comment with the verses out of context will be hidden. if you don't know the context of any quranic verse, feel free to ask me and I will explain to you.

For Muslims:
c.1- talking bad about different Muslim sects is not allowed. I don't like propaganda for any sect here. and I don't like wars in my page.

c.2- talking bad about other religions is not allowed. everyone is free to believe what they want.

c.3- if you don't know much about Islam, then spare some time and learn before you express your opinions and try to explain Islam to others.

c.4- if you believe drawing is forbidden, then don't draw. I don't like people coming to my page expressing extreme opinions to me.


d.1- not respecting the guidelines may result in a warning or banning of the visitor from my page for some time.

d.2- My block list will be emptied in every Eid-ul-Fitr (the feast of End of Fasting) once per year.




If you want more explanation about one of these rules, please feel free to ask.

If you are wondering "why the comments are hidden?"
this journal was old and had another topic. I didn't want to make a new journal, so I just used the old one, and hid the comments since they are unrelated to the guidelines.

Peace

Came across this guy a few years ago, got in an argument over one of his pictures and I pointed out logic to him, he lost his shit and disabled comments on the picture because apparently it was a magnet (I was not the only one who noticed the logical fallacy of the picture) Was not banned, but decided that trying to reason with him would be a waste of my time so I just left him be.
 
I just noticed this thread again and made me remember something. Back in my high school days, there was this one chick who happened to be a weeb, an artsy type and a Sunni, sort of like Nayzak. But its not really fair to call her a weeb or compare her to this guy; she was pretty laid back for what it was worth. She never veiled, never prayed in front of other people, never made any references to Islam in conversations or in her paintings, etc. The only way you would have figured out that she was Muslim was if you asked her about it.

Methinks Nayzak could learn a lesson from that.

I remember stumbling upon a Facebook page advocating banning anime. The page was run by someone espousing Islam, posting pics trolls took of someone putting a copy of the Madoka Magica manga in the religion section, and posting "#PrayTheAnimeAway".

I dunno if they were for realsies or just in the business of rustling jimmies, but I wanna see him and this guy go at it.
 
I agree with @Himawari that Nayzak's artstyle looks really similar to that of Hetalia. It's like both Hetalia's artists and Nayzak are taking unsavory bits of history and religion and making them kawaii desu ne~ with cutesy animu art style.

The thing is that Himaruya, Hetalia's artist, has actually, you know, improved by leaps and bounds over the years (and the fifth anime season changed art styles accordingly). I actually think his current coloring style is gorgeous (albeit a little nonsensical, yes - recently he's been doing these strange super-moe star-shaped highlights that are illogical but I kind of like them in moderation), though I think he can still stand to improve on linework and anatomy (especially hands).

I haven't seen any such improvement with Nayzak over his, what, four years of art that he has up? It's all plasticky shit with stark white highlights that makes it almost painful to the eyes.

And then we have the fact that Himaruya is a fantastic, open-minded guy who travels the world to learn and understand the peoples and cultures that he's writing about, and isn't trying to oppress or offend anyone, isn't trying to preach any sort of personal agenda through his work (unless understanding of and interest in other cultures is considered a personal agenda??). There are definitely aspects of fanservice and pandering in some strips, especially during the holiday events, and even without that I would expect Hetalia to rub some people the wrong way simply on principle, but most of the unsavory stuff about Hetalia (fetishization of disasters like the Holocaust, 9/11, etc.) comes solely from the fandom. Hima hasn't touched on that shit.

Except that Korea was (previously?) a pretty offensive stereotype, but I think Hima has taken efforts to tone down a lot on that.

So Nayzak is vocal about his faith and somehow that's a bad thing?
From what I understand of him, he is very polite and talented boy. A boy who happens to be religious. His faith pours out through his works and words. In most major religions, this is a good thing and evidence of their faith.

On another note. It's very unfair to call Nayzak a lolcow when he doesn't even act like one. He is merely a curious person who is very fervent about his faith.

The problem with Nayzak is not that he has faith and is expressing it. It's because he's painting conversion to Islam as a simple solution to issues that plague modern society such as rape or alcoholism, uses the "no true Scotsman" argument when it comes to people who make Islam look bad and not only shuts down debate on his pages but deletes the opposing side's arguments. Sort of like an Islamic conservapedia with an anime skinsuit.

Frankly, in most major religions, conversion is the first step to solving modern issues. This is a typical belief. I don't think he paints it more or less then anyone of his faith would. It's only half-true that he shuts down debates, he only does it when someone is being disrespectful to him or his religion. For example: here, he debates a Christian with no problem, not banning or deleting the debate that took place.
He only does this if the people involved in the debate break the rules.

What reasons is he considered a lolcow though? He is strange but not way out there. Seeing as much of his beliefs can be quite typical.

He freaks out and blocks those who disagree with him. Thats classic lolcow behavior.
