Interesting: (1) - the Koran is in verse like the Bible and (2) - reads in King James English (or Shakespearian) ... hmmmm
The Bible was not (except the poetry parts) written in verse originally. This was added later for ease of reference. Also, most English translations use contemporary English rather than Shakespeare's variety.

Yes, I know all that plus it originally was all caps (at least the first version in Greek). What was interesting to me is how the Koran is trying to be "biblical" like .... figure if you write in KJ English, it'd sound or read more religiously ...

Jane
