CURMALLY: And about pulling legs Part II. Addendum

Submitted by Plato (India), Oct 20, 2010 at 00:06

Curmally, the following bit I did not transmit:

Studying the translations of Koran 4:34 carefully I also notice that if you remove the words in parenthesis (which are put in by the translators to give their interpretation of the meaning of the verse)most of them read without a time sequence for admonishing, separating and beating. Who came up with the idea that there is a sequence prescribed. Does the Arabic language allow for such a reading? Dhimmi no more could you please help? If there is no time sequence then this verse becomes even more horrendous that the translations reveal i.e. women should be admonished, thrown out of your bed and thrashed all at the same time

Regards

Plato
