You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth.

God is not prohibiting the making of pictures and statues

Well he certainly is...Right there in black and white...How could any person who can read deny such a thing???

God says don't make them...And if someone else makes them, do not bow down to them...God says don't do it...Period...

He says not to make idols of anything. There is no prohibition on artistic depictions of anything but geometrical designs. That's the Muslim interpretation.
