Why are we using Muslims as translators? There are plenty of Arabic-speaking Christians in the Middle East. They wouldn't have any reason to mistranslate something

They might find reason to mistranslate different than the Mohammedans, but at least it would be against the Christians' religion to do so.

After 9-11, Jewish Arabic speakers offered to help but were turned down in favor of Muslim ones.

The rot runs deep.
