It came today. It's translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali for http://www.goodwordbooks.com. It came from Houston.

Okay, well that's not too bad. It's a bit old fashioned. No translation is perfect.

Re: Islam 101 - ask sgttomas about Islam
I was curious about that funny looking old man down in the left-hand corner of the website. So I googled a bit and found he has his own translation of the Quran, too. Still in copyright, I'm sure, but scribd.com has some available. I'm reading it now. It's nice.
