KABAR MENARIK, Dep. Agama sudah menyelesaikan proyek terjemahan Qur'an yg baru.
Banyak orang Islam yg mengritik Alkitab-nya umat Kristiani krn ada berbagai versi. Bagi yg jujur versi2 tsb. adalah terjemahan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia yg berbeda, yg dimaksud untuk mempermudah pengertian isi Alkitab dan sama sekali tidak merubah isinya. Aku kira apa yg sudah dilakukan oleh Dep. Agama ini juga tidak berbeda, sejajar dg yg dilakukan beberapa kali oleh Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia. Mudah2an orang2 yg sering melontarkan kritik ngawur bhw ada versi2 Alkitab (yg isinya) berlainan, menjadi lebih mengerti dan berhenti melontarkan kritik. Sekedar untuk diketahui Dep. Agama RI sudah melakukan revisi Qur'an (terjemahannya) 3 (tiga) kali dlm kurun hampir 10 taon ini. Jadi Al Qur'an terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia dlm waktu 10 sudah ada 3 versinya.
