​If you feel the way you do, then you really have to work on your spiritual life. Rather than pointing finger at our holy father's sacred writings. analyze yourself.
It is better to stay quite, if one is not understanding Gurbani, rather than spreading confusion on a public forum.
A spiritually weak person like me, won't be able to understand the deep level concepts in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib jee.

​Bro, Islam is comparatively easier to follow than Sikhism.
- They have 5 prayers (correct me if I am wrong) - takes less time than Nitnaym.
- Their Zakat is less than our daswandh
- They can eat meat   
- Sex allowed for pleasure with spouse
- Multiple marriages

​Well, we have two instances, where Satguru jee allowed his portrait to be made.
One sakhi is of a woman from Dhaka (present day Bangladesh), who requested to make a portrait of ninth master and she was given permission. The sakhi is below:

Second, we have the famous portrait of first master, which is used in Nanaksar gurughars. Srimaan Sant Baba Nand Singh jee Maharaaj Kaleranwala did great parupkaar (mercy) on people like me, by gifting the Panth, the photo of first master.
Having said the above, we should try to stick to the above two pictures, in addition to any other historical pictures of Satguru jee. If cartoon images are to be made, they should use these pictures as a base.
Also, pictures should not be worshiped, but can be used for motivation and inspiration.

​Bro, some Singhs did give her good replies.
Anyways, if a Sikh treats a white convert different from a Hindu convert, then he does not deserve to be called a Sikh.

​Below is the miracle performed by ninth master.
Note - Pir Jee below refers to ninth master
Quote
 A person among the bystanders uttered, "Pir Jee, you have pronounced that the miracle is the epitome of calamity. I realized that a holy man endures according to His Will and never wanted to display the resplendence. Pir Jee your time is approaching, please show us some miracle now when you are proceeding on your way (to heaven) so that the audience is convinced that Pir Jee is not devoid of mysterious power but did not want to interfere with Godly doings." All-knowing Satguru Jee, looked at him and said "I have not shown any miracle, but on your request we will demonstrate it. Dear friend, if you want to see a miracle, then go and get some water from the well so that I can sprinkle water on my body and face. Ask the Qazi to get some thread and tie it around my neck. You will observe later that the assassin's sword won't cut the thread and paper"

With folded hands, bent his head and the assassin assaulted with the sword. The head was cut off from the body but the thread was not damaged. The entire gathering was astonished.

The word "ਨਿਰਤਿ "which is used in one of the verses above, has multiple meanings. One of its meanings, is veechar/discussion. Therefore, one of the ways to dance in Gurmat is to do Gurbani veechar, listen to Katha, etc
 If still, one cannot control his desire to dance, then one should engage in shaster vidya. The "payntaray" which are part of Shaster vidya, can be classified as a dance too. Therefore, one can dance in this way, and get Satguru's blessings. Bhul chuk maaf

Dance of a Gurmukh:
 
ਨਾਚਨੁ ਸੋਇ ਜੁ ਮਨ ਸਿਉ ਨਾਚੈ ॥
He alone is a dancer, who dances with his mind.
ਝੂਠਿ ਨ ਪਤੀਐ ਪਰਚੈ ਸਾਚੈ ॥
The Lord is not satisfied with falsehood; He is pleased only with Truth.
ਇਸੁ ਮਨ ਆਗੇ ਪੂਰੈ ਤਾਲ ॥
So play the beat of the drum in the mind.
ਇਸੁ ਨਾਚਨ ਕੇ ਮਨ ਰਖਵਾਲ ॥੨॥
The Lord is the Protector of the dancer with such a mind. ||2||
 
ਘਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਨਿਰਤਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਵਾਜੈ ਤੂਰਾ ॥
In each and every home there is dancing, day and night; in each and every home, the bugles blow.
ਏਕਿ ਨਚਾਵਹਿ ਏਕਿ ਭਵਾਵਹਿ ਇਕਿ ਆਇ ਜਾਇ ਹੋਇ ਧੂਰਾ ॥
Some are made to dance, and some are whirled around; some come and some go, and some are reduced to dust.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਨਾਚੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਭੇਟੈ ਪੂਰਾ ॥੪॥੭॥
Says Nanak, one who meets with the True Guru, does not have to dance the dance of reincarnation again. ||4||7||
 
 
ਨਿਰਤਿ ਕਰੀ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਨਚਾਈ ॥
Do Dance, make this mind dance
 
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਈ ॥
By Guru's Grace, I eliminate my self-conceit.
 
ਚਿਤੁ ਥਿਰੁ ਰਾਖੈ ਸੋ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੋ ਇਛੀ ਸੋਈ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥
One who keeps his consciousness focused on the Lord is liberated; he obtains the fruits of his desires. ||1||
 
ਨਾਚੁ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਆਗੈ ॥
So dance, O mind, before your Guru.
 
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਭਾਣੈ ਨਾਚਹਿ ਤਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਅੰਤੇ ਜਮ ਭਉ ਭਾਗੈ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
If you dance according to the Guru's Will, you shall obtain peace, and in the end, the fear of death shall leave you. ||Pause||

ਨਚਿ ਨਚਿ ਹਸਹਿ ਚਲਹਿ ਸੇ ਰੋਇ ॥
Those who dance and dance and laugh, shall weep on their ultimate departure.
ਉਡਿ ਨ ਜਾਹੀ ਸਿਧ ਨ ਹੋਹਿ ॥
They do not fly to the heavens, nor do they become Siddhas.
 
ਮਾਇਆ ਕੈ ਅਰਥਿ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਲੋਕ ਨਾਚੇ ਕੋ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਤਤੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੀ ॥
So many people dance for the sake of Maya; how rare are those who contemplate reality.
 
ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਮੂਰਖ ਆਪੁ ਜਣਾਵਹਿ ॥
The fools perform devotional worship by showing off;
ਨਚਿ ਨਚਿ ਟਪਹਿ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ॥
they dance and dance and jump all around, but they only suffer in terrible pain.
ਨਚਿਐ ਟਪਿਐ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥
By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed.
ਸਬਦਿ ਮਰੈ ਭਗਤਿ ਪਾਏ ਜਨੁ ਸੋਇ ॥੩॥
But one who dies in the Word of the Shabad, obtains devotional worship. ||3||
 
ਪੂਰੇ ਤਾਲ ਜਾਣੈ ਸਾਲਾਹ ॥
Know that the perfect beat is the Praise of the Lord;
ਹੋਰੁ ਨਚਣਾ ਖੁਸੀਆ ਮਨ ਮਾਹ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
other dances produce only temporary pleasure in the mind. ||1||Pause||

Nrit (dance) is considered, as one of the Bhagtees. Nrit Bhagtee has not been accepted in Gurmat.

ਨਚਿਐ ਟਪਿਐ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥
By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed.

ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਨਾਚਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਇ ॥
O humble servant of the Lord, let your dancing be meditation on the Lord, Har, Har.

When a firangi visitor to the Punjab requested for a specimen of Sikh alertness and swordplay, Hari Singh Nalwa gave the following demonstration. The Sardar seated himself on a charpoy and asked that a crow be released under it. Such was the dexterity with which he wielded his sword that the crow, known for its swiftness and cunning, was unable to escape.

​Singh saab, one will have to agree that keeping such powers under control will not be very easy. The five demons will try to incite the human mind, to use these powers for selfish motives.
