oracle and aussiebloke
I do agree with you that she should have critiqued the arabic version instead of an english translation if she wants her work to be viewed as scholarly material. My point is, people do not show the same level of critical thinking when they are fed religious dogma from madrassa hujurs etc. She probably has more understanding of Islam than your avg hujur, yet she is the one to get criticised and ridiculed. People like her and Salman Rushdie are far less destructive to Islam, than people like this:
"We have carried out the sentence of God against 12 Nepalis who came from their country to fight the Muslims and to serve the Jews and the Christians ... believing in Buddha as their God," said the statement by the military committee of the Army of Ansar al-Sunna."
Please tell me, which 'translation' of the Quran are these people following?
