What are we playing here? Is it Ask the Imam Time? OK. I'll play.
Dear Imam. RS provided me with a link to a site from which I cut and pasted some information. I used that information in a comment I made in response to a question. Now it seems the numbers don't tally, or the words aren't quite the same. What should I do? Tear my hair out? Both versions came from the same site. Now that doesn't mean the same source, we know that, because there are as many interpretations of the 'verses' in the koran as there are leaves on the trees in a forest. Entire 'universities' in the ME filled with 'scholars' do nothing but read and interprete the koran and the 62 volumnes of ahadith and the numerous gilded versions of the Life of the 'Prophet' and the Saudi's have spent some 60 billion dollars in recent decades endowing Chairs of Islamic Studies in Western Universities and filling islamic booskstores -free-with wahhabi literature but they still can't agree or get the numbers nor the interpretations to align with each other...so what am I to do?
Imam...Imam...are you there?
OK - now I found it, the second link I gave you about 1/2 way down -
and I'm right the quotes are screwed -
Gee, I'm sure glad that I wasn't the one who did a cut'n'paste them into a post without checking them out first :-)
Just goes to prove my point about checking sources ...
Sorry Fred, I usually go through and check things before I post links.
How did they put that in Animal House... " You screwed up, you trusted me ! " :-)
