Other times he quotes multiple translations of the same Quranic verse, doesn't give the reference to any of them and then tries to imply that they are different verses from the Quran. So, if you don't see a reference - you should smell a rat. Where you see a reference, check it out.

Well, I didn't really expect you to think that I was quoting different Koranic verses when I was just quoting different translations of one verse.

I thought that was pretty obvious - seeing as how I was discussing the different punishments for women who are guilty of 'whoredom' - one verse saying to confine a woman in her home for the rest of her life and another verse saying to lash women.

The translations I posted all said that women should be confined to their homes (so, logically, I thought it was obvious that others would see this as different translations of the same verse). I guess I must have forgotten about you, though.

To be fair, if I was discussing a contradiction between two verses, why would I post different translations of the same verse? Where exactly were the contradictions that you saw - since each verse commanded home confinement?

As I said, I should always keep in mind that what is obvious to others might not be obvious to you. I've suggested a 'crayon' option before, but it doesn't look like the admins here care about making it easier for you to understand what someone else posts.

Shame on them.
