Yes it does: then i'll take the scholars over some stupid shit on the internet. You know, the actual true muslim scholars, the ones who dedicated their life to such a menial task as to translate a book.
No it doesn't: Then why. Why does it not translate? Every language roughly translates to another one, and the more specific ones(english) have a ton of availability for translations. The entirety of other arabic works can translate, and many other languages as well. Now it might not be a perfect translation but there is always notes and such to make up the gap. However, in most (if not all) of the translations, it is the literal translation.
------------------------
In the end it is actually very simple: you are making up bullshit.
Its your opinion trying to influence the words already in clear text. That isn't a bad "translation" that is just you not agreeing with the reality of it.
Just imaginate a hardcore muslim making a translation from a bible to arabic. Do you really think he would keep it clean and shet?
Exactly
They would most likely manipulate it to fit with their story. If I say the following:
And in combat, when you are threatened, kill your enemy
kill your enemy
Once again, if you had been a muslim since birth you would know what I'm trying to say
but you would eventually realize that islam is a big pile of bullcrap either way and end up discussing that on mpgh, hehe.
