If he had boldly stated that our response to 9/11 is to kill however many people in Afghanistan and Pakistan until both of those countries surrender, the war in Afghanistan wouldn't have lasted nearly as long. And it would have taught other nations not to promote the death to America cells like Al Qaeda as much as Afghanistan and Pakistan did.
And we shouldn't have let the media define the war with whatever goal post they declare -- in that case it was that we hadn't gotten Bin Laden yet. As a reminder, we didn't get the emperor of Japan, but Japan surrendered to us in WW2 and nobody today says Japan beat the U.S. That's the reason it was 80 years between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 -- everybody paying attention learned that attacking us is unhealthy.
Every page was in Arabic on the left side, and English on the right. The English side was just like the other modern ones sold in the USA, all the "bad" stuff left out so one would think it is a "religion of peace".
I have a non Muslim friend who is fluent in spoken and read Arabic. I asked him to come to the bookstore with me, because I was too cheap to buy the book.
I pointed out the sura I mentioned, and a few others, plus there were some he was familiar with he wanted to check. (he had spent quite a few years in Saudi-Arabia as a civilian). I have never seen the expression that came on his face before. Absolute shock.
He had only seen true versions before too. He said, "My God, they are two different books". I remember those exact words. I don't remember the rest of his comments word for word, but he went on to say, that this explains why so many people in our government have the wrong idea about Islam.
Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.
Western leaders make the mistake of thinking everyone else in the world thinks the way we do and is motivated by the same things.
Most Muslims in particular, don't and aren't.
IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.
