In one case, with the late Rashad Khalifa, when a couple of qur'anic verses did not fit into his model, he argued that they did not belong in the Qur'an. In all of his translations, they have been removed. >> Reminds me of the attitude of a Christian "scholar" I met while teaching in Arizona in the late 1970's - he was involved in a translation of the Bible. When asked what language texts he was using - he replied "English, I am just re-writing it to agree with our church."
