Reader comment on item: Israel Has a War to Win
in response to reader comment: Our dear Hamzah: Why do Indian Muslims seem to be fond of transliterating Arabic words in English language texts?

As I told you before, it can be either of them. If transliterations are really that bad then why do the majority of them call "sura", "surah"? you know why? because it can be either way. The pronunciation stays "sura", but no crime in adding an "h" to it. And same goes for the others.
