Mr. Khattab's Translation is not a good translation

Dr. Pipes,

What is most amazing is that if you google "Qur'an Translation"; Mr. Khattab's translation is on top of the list. I realize that we should not expect much from those that own the "Social Media." They are only interested in making money. How good or how bad is the translation does not matter.

This is very alarming because young people do not realize that in the pre-google days, we had to do the search the difficult way, go to the library and check the books and select what is best. Now we are told what is "best" by no other than Sheikh google Sala Allahu 'Aalyhi wa Salam.

More alarming is that google search engine is really bad and this is why I'm using DuckDuckGo more often.
