20 year jail term upheld in Afghan quran case

These two guys are getting 20 years because they mistranslated the quran. Its a crime to improperly rewrite the quran in Afghanistan because the highest law there is islamic law. But, are these muslim aware that there are over 20 versions of the quran? So that begs the question which version is really the word of allah brought down by arch angel Gabriel? Answer...none. BBC

An Afghanistan appeal court has upheld 20-year jail terms for two men who published a translation of the Koran.

The prosecution said the translation contained mistakes and called for the defendants to be executed.

The men were convicted of modifying the Muslim holy book into Persian while not including the original Arabic text. [...]

There is no law in Afghanistan prohibiting the translation of the Koran but modification is viewed as violating Islamic Shariah law.

Way too anal and backward to succeed at conquering the modern world. Drop your weapons and step away from the toxic ideology.
