#1 Excellent article!

Exactly the point I have been trying to make at my website: we need to know the religion to understand it, and if that means understanding the language, then that is necessary also. Only by understanding what motivates them can we know what they fear.

"For anyone who doesn't know, unlike the Scribe' transmitters of Judaism and Christianity, Muslims take the Koran (Recitation) as the direct narration of the word of God, through Angel Gabriel." This is correct: Christians believe that God inspired all the writers of the old and new testament to write what they did. The Lord aided their recollection, but did not, apart from passages prefixed by "Thus says the Lord", actually dictate the literal words: My description of Creation, in my version of Genesis, would necessarily be different from the actual writer's description because my vocabulary and my training is different from theirs.

#2 As I read it the English and French translations are equivalent. Sloppiness abounds.

#3 Sorry for the typos. I rushed the editing, and it could be a lot better. Sura 9 of the Koran - which includes the "Verse of the Sword" (9:50)-refers to events around the Muslim capture of Mecca, thus is the most violent section of the Koran. Check out Maududi's commentary:
