The Skeptic’s Annotated Qua’ran

Uncategorized — By admin on April 15, 2008 at 7:06 pm

I was looking for a Sura I remembered and Google introduced me to The Skeptic’s Annotated Qua’ran.

The site displays each sura of the Qua’ran, along with analytical study notes giving a plain-English analysis of important verses.

Verses are also marked with a useful legend highlighting specific attributes:

inj1 The Skeptics Annotated QuaranInjustice
int The Skeptics Annotated QuaranIntolerance
cr1 The Skeptics Annotated QuaranCruelty and Violence
abs1 The Skeptics Annotated QuaranAbsurdities

sci1 The Skeptics Annotated QuaranScience and History
fv The Skeptics Annotated QuaranFamily Values
lang1 The Skeptics Annotated QuaranLanguage

For example, Sura 9:29:

9:29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

inj1 The Skeptics Annotated Quaran int The Skeptics Annotated Quaran Fight against Christians and Jews “until they pay the tribute (the Dhimmi) readily, being brought low.”

This web site also features The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible and The Skeptic’s Annotated Book of Mormon, so be ready for some equal-opportunity analysis.

I strongly encourage every American to read the Qua’ran.  Only by reading this book can we truly understand why modern day Muslims are murdering innocents across the globe.
