I recall; feels so very long ago, but it was only about eighteen months, briefly talking to a Muslim woman who was part of a group handing out free copies of the Qu'ran as part of peace and unity thing; there were some Jews there as well, may have been a united group dealing with Israel/Palestine I can't recall that too clearly. Anyway she asked if I would take a free copy, and was quite surprised that I already had two copies. I mentioned reading it when I was a teenager; think I said seventeen, but I think I may have been eighteen; not that that matter, but then I said something like, "... I haven't really; read a translation, it's like reading the Bible in English and saying you've read it." Pleased to say she smiled at that; that she inderstood what I was trying to say. They were busy so she went back to what she was doing and I carried on my way. I have to say it would be interesting to try to read a translation side by side with the original; both the Qu'ran and the Bible (new and old testaments).
