Not a coincidence at all. I've been amazed at what I've found out in my research and I have NO doubt it was a lot more than I would have if I'd just listened to what they've been trying to feed us.

I had a conversation with a Muslim once who claimed that my problem was that I was using a Qur'an that was translated into English and that the only accurate version was in Arabic. He also said that a good test of loyalty that a new Muslim has to Allah is to expect him/her to learn Allah's language, which of course is Arabic. Needless to say, he got pretty bent out of shape when I told him that a God who created all mankind certainly knows how to fluently speak all the languages men speak without losing any context. But his anger over that statement was nothing compared to how angry he got when I told him that if his book couldn't be accurately translated so that every man on earth could read it and understand it then he probably needed to accept the fact that it didn't come from God.

Of course I went ahead and bought an Arabic version of the book because I'm curious about just what differences there are in it.
