>>99112943Modern translations of classical texts can never encapsulate the accurate nuances of the languages it was conveyed in, no? I heard problems like that has been encountered the same way in Bible translations, but I don't know to find examples to be sure.
>>99113838>'Sharia' should rulePeople define sharia by many things though, from as basic as "marital and inheritance affairs" - which is serious business by the way - to as wide as a whole entire political system, and every Muslim surveyed might as well agree to said rulings as they assumed from what they understood of the noun on their own definitions.
Was the definition of "sharia" ever specified in the context of the survey?
>Qur'an = pure poetryIt is said that the Arab society back then was really into poetry, and the language of the "revelations" was suppose to reflect that - the same way the Bible was supposed to be revealed in Jesus's tongue, the Torah in David's, you get it.

>>99115521Funny you should say that, when I had read about news regarding riots in Sri Lanka from hardliner monks believing supposedly fake news about Islamic proselytism yet but nobody dumps on Buddhism. Oh, and remember some Bollywood controversy months ago about some film regarding a historical fictional Hindu princess who'd rather kill herself than to be with some Muslim ruler - based on a work by a Sufi poet, and mob groups harrased crew members because "muh Hindu honour!"
I just don't like double standards in calling out religious-motivated provocation, it's all I'm saying.
