just a little more, infidel...

Reader comment on item: Appease Iran?
in response to reader comment: Taj, understanding the Qur'an

Submitted by Taj (United States), Oct 14, 2008 at 16:05

Infidel - you only have 3 translations and have been studying them for only 7 years?? If after such time and limited scope you've come up with such poor arguments, I'd say, absolutely, you need more study and instruction where the Quran is concerned...

It is only the most elementary of approaches that in order to actually study the Quran on must delve in quranic arabic - since, of course the actual Quran is an arabic scripture - as well as engage in study of tafsir...without it, one's "knowledge" of the Quran remains at a novice, and nfortunately in the instances you've cited, misinformed level...

Not sure where you got from Muhammad that "the world belongs to Islam", perhaps you should avoid generalizing or paraphrasing - it makes your arguments look shabby...
