let's see how this goes. The Israelis are not going to risk another PR disaster this time, so let's see how it plays out.

Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead were both superb films!

Currently I'm really looking forward to the new movie by director Christopher Nolan. It's called "Inception".

Anyone seen anything decent lately?

I am overjoyed to hear that things went so well!

I regret that due to some personal circumstances I was unable to make it. .

Some of the negative media coverage of the event did not escape my notice however.

I think any future events need to steer clear of the kind of publicity stunts that Taj Hargey can pull at times.

The focus needs to be on God and the Quran.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

peace

Questions/Comments on the Quran / Re: Rashad Khalifa's Quran translation

« on: October 29, 2009, 10:26:50 AM »

For the record, I was there when Layth made the decision to embark on the translation that went on to become "The Message". It was born out of frustration of the fact that RK's translation wasn't good enough and that people kept using it as they had preferred it to the older translations on the market at the time.

I remember Layth translating chapter by chapter and I did do proofreading on some of the early chapters he translated.

How anyone can say that it was based on RK's work is beyond me.

The reviews on amazon are not a great reference point as many people automatically love to tar you/us/anyone with the brush of Rashad Khalifa if we claim to follow the Quran alone and do not follow hadith. it is a classic way to defame people rather than to deal with us intellectually or using the Quran.

Any time someone says they follow the Quran alone or do not follow hadith, most people will associate those people with the "submitters" or "rashad Khalifa".

Bro!

Good to see you active on here Zidane!

When are you going to do a version for the iPhone?

You could do it as a web based app, or next year in February Apple are going to release a Software Developers Kit.

The Wire is good, although in my opinion not as good as The Shield, which is just plain vicious, but brilliant TV!

Heroes is great!

If you love Curb Your Enthusiasm, then watch Arrested Development!
