Theory of Islam expertise

I can prove by use of the Koran that any infidel that refuses to accept Allah as the only God can be slain or made a 'slave'. Since there is no empirical evidence that Allah decreed such a command, I believe that just denying it makes me an expert by my knowing that scientists have shown that the seeing of things and hearing voices is a sign of mental illness. I need not belabor the point with more evidence and simply add that I have extensive readings of Dr. Daniel Pipes and other experts, such as Bernard Lewis.
