[soc.religion.islam] Qur'an on computer

	Greetings!  Good news: I just received verbal permission
from Tahrike Tarsile Qur'an Inc. to put Shakir's translation on the
public networks.  I expect this will be the translation of choice,
but just to recap the possibilities:

	1) M. A. Shakir
	2) George Sale
	3) John Rodwell
	4) Mirza Abul Fazl
	5) Muhammad Abdul Hakim Khan
	6) Edward Palmer
	7) Alexander Ross

	So let's start a discussion and pick one of these
translations, if there are no objections.  With the numerous
resources volunteered thus far for the project, I imagine we could
have a working copy on line within a month or so!

Peace!
