OT:Quaran quote

Don't know it well ... but I know the internet well enough to know how to find out. According to Snopes, that passage isn't found anywhere in the Quran. The passage that does exist at 9:11 is as follows (from an online version of the Quran (three translations))

Thanks Dean.

That's pretty uch what I figured.

I'll look it up in the one I took from a dead Iraqi.

My home page:

" In walks the village idiot and his face is all aglow; he's been up all night listening to Mohammad's radio" W. Zevon

According to the Snopes.com website, that quote is False.

Origins: No, this isn't a legitimate quotation from the Quran (or Koran), the sacred text of Islam. The chapter and verse citation quoted above is a leg-pull, an obvious play on the USA's (the Eagle) launching of military action against Afghanistan and Iraq (the "lands of Allah") in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on America organized by Osama bin Laden (the "son of Arabia awakening a fearsome eagle"). That the chapter and verse selection match the date of the terrorist attacks (9:11) is another giveaway to the joke.

Depending upon which translation of the Quran one uses, the section corresponding to chapter 9, verse 11 actually reads something like this:

But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know.

The chapter/verse citation of "9:11" should have been a clue that it was bullshit.
