Thats pretty funny since it is now your exact words. ( cut and paste ) take the win.Uzique wrote:
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.

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. "step back a bit". be realistic.Hunter/Jumper wrote:

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.

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:

substitute CLEAR CUT for "lacking in any form of subtlety " and see how it sounds -Doctor Strangelove wrote:
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.
it seems left handed to shut this down but I think I got what I need.jord wrote:
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.
