| Iran Angry about Cheap Korans printed in China |
| 2011-09-01 |
| From the Tehran Times Copies of the Holy Quran published in China are littered with spelling mistakes, says an official from the Organization of the Holy Quran. Oh, the fun I could have... Several Iranian publishers have been sending their copies of the Quran to China for the publication, only to have them come back home with spelling mistakes, Director of the Department of Evaluation on Publication of the Holy Quran affiliated with the Organization of the Holy Quran Ahmad Haji-Sharif said in a press release here on Monday. These mistakes have also been observed in Chinese tableaus that bear holy verses of the Quran, he said, adding, "These tableaus are made quite cheaply in China but are sold for much more than they are really worth to make that much more profit." |

| #13 #7: When is Penguin Press coming out with the paperback? Posted by: bigjim-CA|| 2011-09-01 11:22 | I don't know when it was printed, but I have my English translation (Penguin Press) that I bought in 1982, when I first got serious about finding out what kind of sh$$ was in the Koran. |

| #10 Reminds me of the "Bibles" mentioned in the novel "Good Omens". Like the "Thou Shalt Bible", in which the printer left out the word "not" in each of the Ten Commandments... |

| #5 "Take this typo for example. Instead of 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful', it says 'Let a hundred flowers bloom'. What kind of nonsense is that?" |

| #2 Knowing the Chinese, they have probably embedded suggestions and other malware in their printed Korans that will cause turbans to explode. |

| #1 China trying to make a fast buck? I'm shocked. Someone should tell them that in China they grease the machines with pig fat. |
