    Very heavy mistranslations, the movie completely misinterprated the Qur'an and so did Wilders.

    Movie is just a compilation of images that were filmed by people who apparently misinterpetated the Qur'an as well. Maybe they do maybe they don't not my problem either way.

    The potential for improper translation is the reason why, if I recall correctly, it is Islamic doctrine that the Qur'an should not be translated, but that a seeker of knowledge should acquire the language skills necessary to learn from it in the original form. Am I right in suggesting this?

    Not necessarily. The Qur'an can be translated in any language, as long as the translations are accurate and precise, with no fabrications and snippets.

    Which means it can't be translated. Or more likely, it depends on the how many soldiers are controlled by the person evaluating the translation.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
