Translator leaves popes in Hell but saves Islam's prophet from perdition
UTRECHT, Netherlands (ChurchMilitant.com) - A new Dutch translation of the Divine Comedy has erased the name of Muhammad from the opus magnum of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri to prevent the epic poem from becoming "unnecessarily offensive" to Muslims.
Translator Lies Lavrijsen told Belgian Radio 1 that she expunged the founder of Islam from her translation to give it the "widest possible accessibility," particularly for "a younger audience."
"We knew that if we left this passage as it is, we would have unnecessarily hurt a large part of the readers," Lavrijsen said, noting that the decision was made "in the tense period which saw the death of teacher Samuel Paty in France."
In October, 18-year-old Muslim refugee Aboulakh Anzorov beheaded schoolteacher Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (a suburb of Paris) for showing cartoons of Muhammad to pupils during a class on free speech.
Defending the deletion of Muhammad's name, publisher Myrthe Spiteri of Blossom Books explained that naming the prophet of Islam in the translation "is not necessary for the understanding of the literary text."

Well, to sort of “point the finger” at anyone who fails to follow God’s Word is kind of offensive, right? Don’t you think Dane’s Inferno would be a better book if they just took out all the sinners entirely? [/s]
Might as well leave him in hell, I doubt any sand sucking muslim moron is going to read the Divine Comedy anyway.
Baloney! They knew if they left the passage in they’d have their heads cut off.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Homosexuals are also shown by Dante as suffering in hell. How do Muslims feel about that? How afraid are the censors of hurting the feeling of those who commit homosexual behaviors? Enough to edit them out of the Dante’s Inferno?
As I recall, the female student who claimed the teacher had offended her later RECANTED her story.
The teacher was murdered because of B*LLSH*T AND LIES.
Then they should likewise delete censor the names of all other actual historical persons explicitly identified in the text.
After all, they're "not necessary for an understanding of the literary text."

Anne Frank is crying, again, for the Netherlands.

FAKE NEWS
The girl has now admitted that she lied about this happening.
Put yourself in the time period when this was written and Mohammed and his Merry Muslims would MOST CERTAINLY belong in Hell.
Tours? Vienna? Lepanto? Ring and bells?
Dante’s new abridged version of ‘Inferno’:
“Some people did something, and [The deity or non-sectarian force of your choice] sent them to a [ non-judgmental, racially and sexually inclusive ] place.
The end”
Hi.
What do you have when a million Islamists are at the bottom of the ocean?

Actually, he did show them, as he had done every year; she lied about being there, and being offended. She lied to her Islamist father, reporting hearsay to him, to cover for her having cut class that day.
Daddy then did the stirring up online.
All that aside, he was still killed by a fanatic Islamist AKA 'lunatic', in the MSM's vernacular.
