why exactly was the last one deleted? cause your OP was full of racist shite?

I never got a chance to view the last topic, what happened?
he said he wanted to find an accurate translation of the koran because he wanted to check to make sure that none of the passages that were being vile to women, children and humanity in general were being translated into cuddle-fests for the arabic audiences. something along the lines of "i want to make sure that "if a woman wears lipstick cut her fucking head off!" isn't translated to "love women for they are thy equals" in the arabic version. it was fucking moronic. the quality of this OP speaks for itself.

Oh, kinda sad I skirted around it for the music piracy thread.
Racist ? I didn't know islam was a Race. But - yes I demured to your intellegent suggestion and wording for all the good it did.
Actually, Did not Coalition troops find boxes of Womens Polished nails that had been removed and stored at the police station ?

I am sure you can find an accurate version of the Koran in English. I'm unaware of it being "censored" like in your last OP. The Old testament has some verses that may offend some people unless it is a vast conspiracy by Muslims unless you can read Arabic.

i dunno, didn't the counter-inquisition find crates full of used condoms and dead boys at the catholic house-party?
shut up and make something D&ST worthy.
the pretense of sincerely wanting a real translation of the koran, so that you can educate yourself... is a very thin one. everyone is fully aware that your ostensible purpose is to vent your little gripes about islam into a thread, masquerading as a 'serious' study of their holy text. you're full of shit, lowing. go re-register yet again and try yet again.

I saw the error of a joke that offended and withdrew it. So now your just ranting about what exactly ?

Yet I did not make another ~
So suggest a real koran I can read and educate me. I want to know what it really teaches good or bad. My motivation I don't trust what i have been told. That's not good enough for you ? During and after WWII it was impossible to find a copy of Mien Kamf [sp] or Socialist writings that weren't " edited for clearer explaintion easier and better consumption ! You must see my point. Even if I did make a joke about it. Step back a bit.

best Idea yet - in a dearth of credible responses, I have an electronic book. But I am afraid I might get a vanilla version or one that makes an effort to highlight errors and reinterprets it to show secret conspiracies, violence or some such stuff. I have seen those advertised. " Joe blow Exposes the koran etc. " just looking for the best example of an accurate translation.Phrozenbot wrote:

okay i get your point but i think you are wildly misguided if you think western-translations of the koran have been doctored in any way, shape or form. mein kampf was censored, edited and circulated in such a fashion because, you know, the author had just torn apart an entire continent and committed genocide against millions of fucking people. the koran is a holy text. the islamic scholars are not all rushing to get out an american-friendly version that drops all the 'nasty' unchristian parts just because of 9/11.

Why do you care, if you really hate that shit then you wouldn't even want to read that shit.
because it gives them a pretense of having a 'factual' understanding, 'based' in 'real evidence' of scripture and theology.
it's like viewing a painting with red coloured-lenses over your eyes and trying to pick out the particularly sanguine parts...

Does µzique really think that hunter is lowing?
lowing is completely lacking in any form of subtlety. Even though hunter's true intentions are fairly easy to discern, lowing has no concept of subtlety at all.

Jezsus F***xXXst ? of course I think have been wildly misguided WHY do you think I want the koran. And sorry I don't trust ether side to play me strait. And the only muslims I ever hear about they tell me are planning " genocide against millions of fucking people " and So FAR that's been my only personal experience with their actions and efforts. Yet I know they have a story to tell themselves.Uzique wrote:

So on the whole I feel like Im being pretty cool by trying to secure a koran.
Well lowing goes and a guy that hasn't posted in 2 years starts regularly posting. Its quite a coincidence. Moreso they are both hard right americans that frequent dst.
