Interesting article. Very interesting, in fact.

I'm thinking I may want to pick up an English translation of this "Koran" and see if it's as tedious reading as the author says it is.

I heard it was mostly knock-knock jokes and recipes for hummus.

Incidentally, I read some passages from one of the "new translations" of the Bible the other day. Sorry, but I'll stick with the King James version. What I enjoy is the lyrical style and archaic language that lends weight to the words - something the new translations are seriously lacking.

You can find an on line searcheable copy of the koran here,

If you just want to see what's in it, the on line version should satisfy your curiosity.

If you want it for artistic, or private personal uses, just print off the pages necessary.
