Isn't
Isn't it spelled Q'uran? In the anglicized form, anyway? human be in 12:44, 3 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Qur'an, actually. But as far as I'm concerned it's a nitpick.  not everything can be anglicized. Stile4aly 12:47, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Just checking, I knew there was an apostrophe in there somewhere. So "Quran" is accepted as well, then? human be in 13:30, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
 * These days, it usually is rendered as Qur'an, that being closer to the arabic. It's also more "PC".--PalMD-Goatspeed! 15:22, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I officially vote for the "Qur'an" spelling, with a redirect from "Koran".--PalMD-Goatspeed! 15:40, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I agree with "Qur'an". -- AKjeldsen Godspeed! 15:58, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
 * When i get a few minutes and a piece of scrap paper, Im going to move this to Qur'an, and fix all the redirects, etc. Unless someone does it first.--PalMD-Goatspeed! 13:50, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I win! How many points do I get for my team? --jtl talk 14:59, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

Unsupported
The text reads when speaking bout bloodthirsty interpretations of the Qur'an: "though these views are unsupported by an actual review of the text,. Is this true?  I mean the Taliban and others take a pretty literal reading don't they, and they are hardly moderates.--Bob_M (talk) 14:18, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
 * That's difficult to say without any direct reference. Generally speaking, though, I'd say that the Qur'an is as vulnerable to that kind of quote mining as the Bible is, although (or perhaps because) the language is much more poetic in nature. -- AKjeldsen Godspeed! 14:35, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The Qur'an suffers from all the same things as the Bible; myth, history, beauty, violence. But it's a little more unified, textually, and the language is more uniformly poetic. Violence itself falls under a separate category of "religious violence/fundamentalism"162.82.215.199 15:10, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
