Thank you, that is ecactly what I was gonna say. I want to learn, so a free Quran is a deal to me. I don't care for the thread capping/religion bashing. Come on people.

By the way, I happen not to believe in "God" I believe that there is a greater being, but not a person/man in a flowing white robe/gown. Whatever ths greater being happens to be, I know he/she/it does not want us to kill each other or go religion bashing. Just because I do not agree with the major religions does not mean I will bash them. I want to learn about other people and their teachings.

for anyone who has gotten this or something like it, is it relatively easy reading? obviously its most likely translated to english and such

i'm interested in it and heard that there are many similarities between it and two other major religous books.

 

[XFreebie]

so Evadmen is referring to the Platonic essence of God.

I am not a racist. But I do not condone terrorism in fact I am going to make it my life's mission to destroy Terrorists. The fact is in today's world, most terrorists are muslims. I know people gonna flame for that but facts are facts. Until these Arab countries stop condoning terrorists and join the rest of teh world in condenming them. We should never rest. If you have any doubts, just get this weeks people of the 31 widows who gave birth to children after 9/11.

Is Islam evil? I really don't know. They say let action speak for itself. So far, all I have seen is Muslim terrorist blowing us up. Are there other terrorists other then Muslims? Sure there is, but have they done anything so inhumane?

The answer is no.

Another one, klick on the 'Free copy' link on the left side.

Go trash threads in Off-Topic if you aren't interested, or just go to your local KKK-meeting (again). Don't mess up 'Hot Deals'.

 

[Troubadour]

LIVAN: ever heard of the pogroms? How about the coloseum? The Holocaust? Blaming a religion for the actions of a few nutballs is just as retarded as being a terrorist and rationalizing your actions by selectively quoting scripture.

Apologies to all for the OT post, this is a good deal and I shall take them up on it. I've been meaning to read more philosophy and this thread deserves a bump.

 

[hoomza444]

bump

oh yeah, and chlil with the negative comments. it is people like you guys that make us feel ashamed to be americans at a time when we should be most proud.

This is a good deal folks. I am a muslim and will be the first to tell you that reading the Quran will be very enlightening to those who are not familiar with Islam. Can't beat an educational tool at this price!

A personal salute to those who stood up against the idiots here. The AT Mod for taking care of them.

BUMP

EDIT: For those who are wondering what kind of reading this is- it will not be very easy to read as it is similar to how the bible is written. Rather cryptic. However, it also depends on the person translating and how they choose to write it in. If it is a translation, please keep in mind that there is some loss of accuracy. (Am I getting too technical here????) The book comes running at 1.6ghz with 512 mb ram....

<< Are these Muslim bibles really published by the Mormons, like the Jack Smith Christian bible they publish? >>


I believe that's Joseph Smith. At least that's the d00d who started the Mormon religion.

<< Sieg Heil! >>


I believe you meant to say, "Allahu Akbar!"

<< Wow, there are some really ignorant people on this forum, I?m not a Muslim but it was pretty strange reading through all the posts....and the comment about knowing they enemy was really unnecessary >>



Perhaps not, beatitup. While not all Muslims are terrorists, we do need to understand Islam, and the corruptions of it by the terrorists, to understand "the enemy." For the same reason I keep myself informed of Xtianity and its texts, and the various corruptions of the same, to understand various hate groups and dangerous fundie types.

Of course, there are other reasons to read these works. But some just don't appreciate reading, and not much will help those types.

And I'll repeat again what I said on the "free bible" thread. Don't bother. If you want religious texts that will be actually useful for educational purposes, what is given away for free generally isn't any good. Head to a nearby campus (near the beginning of a term is best) and look for the texts being used in any sort of religion class. You'll get decent deals on very good texts: good translations, good annotation, etc. Don't just look at the Judeo-Christian-Muslim texts either. Break into some that are different. Try the bahgivad gita.

i'd say a majority of deaths in recent history are all non-religious if not anti-religious. (ex: hitler, stalin, trujillo, and many more anti-religious dictators that attacked the church) you don't need religion for people to harm people, they tend to harm themselves.

 

[AAjax]

I cant wait till the mods get fed up with all the people who cannot read the rules, if you have a problem with religious posts, take it to the off topic forum.

I hope this version includes a naration of the meaning of the verses, because, like any other Holy book, it will be tough reading. If you need free books on Islam, stop by any mosque, they usually have plenty of free reading material.

 

[randypj]

huesmann--yeah, maybe you're right......but I was thinking I had heard them called "Jack Mormons"......so, I was thinkin' the guy's name was Jack. No?

Do you know, do Mormons publish bibles for more than one faith?

Has anyone noticed the site has run out of books? At least the non-Muslim ones.

[riznick]

I was wondering if the Quran talks about "assassins" and their history. I think I would be interesting reading about them.


Assassin: A member of a secret order of Muslims who terrorized and killed people of other religions. They were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing. Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers, it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish.

 

[Gilby]

"History" of assassins? Or the pish-posh you're going to try to insinuate is history?

Anyway, even if we took your obviously biased take, the assassins in question existed centuries after the Quran was written. That's be like the bible discussing the inquisitioners.

Oops. Forgot to mention that anyone really interested in some comparative religious study, or who just wants some facts, really should take a look at religioustolerance.org.

Oops. Also forgot to give Livan a big 'ol FOAD. Speaking as an Oklahoman, I really don't find it all that acceptable for you to write off the murder of over 100 by McVeigh as unimportant.
