For non-muslims who have read passages from the qur\'an
 

I'd just like to ask you to help answer some questions about your reading of the Qur'an.

1) Did you read:
a) a website with quotations from the Qur'an in it
b) the Qur'an or a website that had the entire Qur'an on it.

2) Also, did you read:
a) Just to Al'Baqara (second chapter, the first chapter that's longer than 1 page)
b) Past Al'Baqara.

I'll start: 1) B, 2) A

I can only read english, french and german and none of them very well. We know what a joke the bible translations are ( translations in general are very subjective just by the nature of translating in spite of the best efforts) so I rely on the 'several source' method on such things, preferably ones taking different views.

It'll be interesting if some on here have read it or major portions of it

1) b

2)I have probably not read a respectable amount of it in full.

Muslims have fought through much of history to suppress translations of the Qur'an out of it's original Arabic..feeling that translation causes misunderstandings of the text...I would have to agree that much of it would be 'lost in translation'...moreso than the OT and NT just because of the style of writing in the Qur'an (from what I think I know)
