Thank You for Reviewing Our Website
Here's what you need to know about the Islam Comic Book
and our Terms of Use.
Sending Us Correspondence
If you send us any type of correspondence, be it email,
hand-written or typed correspondence, PDF files, threats, demand letters,

Reproducing the Comic Book
Therein lies a tale. We don't own the copyright to
Mohammed's Believe It or Else, so we can't grant you permission to
print it and distribute it yourself. But the original publisher told our
first webmaster that the comic book could be printed by anyone at any time
without paying royalties, as long as it was distributed as a missionary
tool. But after we made the comic book a worldwide sensation, the original
publisher tried to withdraw that right. We did take it down after receiving
a legal demand, but then after somewhat less than a year of reflection and
thought, we decided to re-post the
high-res PDF file of the comic book
and the
PowerPoint Slide show so
anyone could publish them for educational purposes.
We quote, from the U.S. copyright law:
§107. Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use.
Notwithstanding the provisions of §106, the fair use of a copyrighted
work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phone records or by
any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism,
comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom
use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
USC Title I, 101, 19 Oct 1976, 90 Stat 2546
We invite the original publisher to sue us. We'll depose
him and the actual records of his educational background, and all of his
related businesses, including the non-profit organization and church behind
which he hides. Subpoenas are wonderful things.
We expect him to do nothing, as the cost to defend our
counter-litigation (probably a RICO action in federal court) will be far
greater than the few thousand dollars he might lose from the royalties that
we won't pay him for breaking his word to us. And once our own new Islam
Comic Book is completed, we'll take the old PDFs down and replace them with
our own.
The complete high-res PDF files are quite large --
usually over 30 megs, sometimes as much as 100 megs. Why are they so large?
Because they are 2500 pixel image files suitable for printing on a web-fed
press, if you know what that means.
High Resolution PDF File of the Comic Book
Still want to print your own copies? Then here's the
comic book in a high-res PDF format.
The file is quite large: over 90 megs.
High Resolution Blank PDF File of the Comic Book
If you want to translate the comic book into a foreign
language, you will need all of the images blanked out, so that you can put
the text into your target language. Here's the
comic book with blank page images in a high-res PDF format.
The file is quite large: nearly 100 megs. To use it, you must
have Adobe Acrobat 7 or later (not the reader, the actual program). Extract
the jpg images from our blank PDF file and then manipulate them with your
graphics program. By the way, if you need a graphics program, why not use
GIMP2?
It's free. Don't forget, if you are translating to a language that reads
right to left (like Arabic!), you will need images that are mirrored from
the original comic book. Here is the
comic book with mirrored blank page images in a high-res PDF format.
Text File of the Comic Book
If you want to translate the comic book, you'll need the
text of the comic book in an easy to read format.

file.
