I am not a muslim and see multiple sides of islam but you cannot just say- Qu'ran you have to mention the editor as well. (Unless you read the original arabic version).

It matters a lot since I've seen eastern books having hugely varying translations.

For example, an Indian friend of mine tells me that 'I am become God ... ' is a very inaccurate representation of the original hindi text



I read various translations, scientific editions by (german) islamic schoolars - I know there are other versions out there which are more white washed. I can especially recommend Bill Warners "An Abridged Koran", if you believe there are errors in his translation, please let us know.
