Is a revised Koran even necessary to justify violence? I thought the original was plenty...
ABU DHABI — Qatar has banned the import and distribution of unauthorized Korans.
Officials said the Islamic Affairs Ministry has ordered mosques and clerics to use only Korans and other Islamic text approved by the government, Middle East Newsline reported. They said Al Qaida-aligned clerics have employed Korans revised to promote the doctrine of Islamic war against the West.
Officials acknowledged that Korans revised by Al Qaida-aligned clerics have been distributed in Qatar. They said some of chapters in the Islamic text were removed.
The Qatari daily Al Sharq reported that an unidentified Qatari national has financed the publication and distribution of the revised Korans. The newspaper quoted Qatari sources as saying that many such Korans had been sent to the Gulf emirate.

I would be interested to know what chapters were deleted.
I imagine they would be the verses abrogated by Profit Mo later on when he discovered how sweet religion, violence and booty capture worked together. I suspect the deletions are to not give the "stay at home " muslims a talking point to slow the global jihad.

A good strategy. Now, the natural question becomes :
Why aren't WE printing more modern, peaceful, liberal versions of the Koran? It would cost a pittance relative to other expenses we are incurring. Why isn't the US doing this? Are we really this stupid to ignore such low-hanging fruit?

Cause it doesn't exist...

Because the Qur'an is divine and cannot be corrupted by American morons.
But it just blows my mind that you have openly called for this, your appeal to falsify the book really sums up what this war is about.

Turm, forget it. It's not "low hanging fruit", it's foolish and counterproductive. All you'll do is inflame Katarina's brand of hate, and hate is cheap and plentiful among muslims. As for you, Katarina, your book doesn't need any help as far as corruption goes.

Katarina,
Are you saying that al qaeda's rewriting of the Qu'ran is not a corruption of it? And since they are rewriting it, aren't you going to call al qaeda "morons" as well?
Besides, if you treat islam as it really is, a political ideology, then it's no big deal. It's like adding a chapte to Mein Kampf.

Even more violent korans? Is there anything in these korans other than violence? The muslim God "Allah" is a downright violent god..rom

@Katarina: "....because the qur'an is divine...."
LOL! If that book is divine, I AM DIVINE TOO...!rom

Just what we need, more violence.

Why printing a lot of reading for terrorists (who can not read or think:
This proposal of an even shorter Quran would replace all thir printing effort:
"Kill Everyone Everywhere"

This is a goood thing, kids.
One of the more difficult aspects of this conflict is identifying & separating the truly psychotic-suicidal-Islamo-phreaks from the rest of the chattle in the Middle East.
Anything that reveals them for who they really are helps us to target them.

Katarina - your book and religion stink to high heaven - just the passages about women tell me it has nothing to do with God and a whole lot to do with Mohammad's hatred of & desire to keep women down. As for the book nothing needs to be left out - all that needs to happen is a tweak here and there.. you know - is it beat your wives or discipline your wives - is that word beat,hit,discipline, strike or whip, I am not speaking of translation but actual change of text. The other game that priests/clerics play is interpretation: when Christ said "upon this rock I will build my church !" was he talking about Peter (The Catholic interpretation of that line.) or Faith in HIM in general - the protestant interpretation. Just keep saying that discipline = beating, hitting and you got it set in people's minds that beating your wife is a blessed thing or that 'Rock' = Peter and the popes and you got yourself the power you wanted to have to set up a monarchy. (and I am sorry if I offend Catholics,but I feel this is true.) I use the woman reference but the same can be said about their relationship to us.

Kathleen Mary - how in the world did you manage to turn an article about the Koran into an anti-Catholic screed? One sentence from your comment: "Just keep saying that discipline = beating, hitting and you got it set in people's minds that beating your wife is a blessed thing or that 'Rock' = Peter and the popes and you got yourself the power you wanted to have to set up a monarchy". I am a Catholic and neither I nor anyone I know believes that "beating your wife" is a blessed thing.

Divine. LMFAO. Rantings of a drunken, lunatic 7th century goatherding child-rapist. Time to torch every mosque on the planet, ideally when filled with these shitskinned arab-nigger mongrels at "prayer" with their heads up each others ass screaming for their moon bat "god."

At first glance to most people, this probably looks like a lot of hate filled rhetoric... but it's the truth. Muslim is NOT a religion of peace. It never has been, and never will be.

Thanks for the racist comments, it really shines a light on "Operation Iraqi Freedom."
Posted by: Katarina | August 28, 2007 at 11:01 AM
when was the Quran a peaceful religion/book? whatever good was said in the start of quran was abrogated by the same prophet afterwards to start a psychopatic ideology to convert the whole world into islam either by force or beheading...

* "Why aren't WE printing more modern, peaceful, liberal versions of the Koran?"
George W Bush & Tony Blair apparently have these peaceful versions. Mine is just your average Koran with the calls to "Strike off their heads, maim them in every limb!" (of infidels, as practiced by devout Muslims around the globe, despite western leaders babbling on about a "religion of peace" hijacked by misunderstanders of Islam etc.

"muslims are vermin" is a muslim doing his job for allah.
Posted by: BL@KBIRD | August 28, 2007 at 11:13 PM
Printing more peaceful liberal views of the Quran is a joke. There no such verses. From what this article states, Al-qeada has found a way to make the more violent then it already is.

There is no need to make racist remarks on this site, the Muslims are Vermin. If want to make racist remarks then go to the websites of the skinheads and the KKK, where you can make all the racist remarks you want. This website is for criticizing Islam, not to advocate racism.
