Muslims everywhere have found “The True Furqan” a fake and this so called Quran opposes many Islamic beliefs. In one of its ayats it describes having more than one wife as fornication, divorce being non-permissible and it uses a new system for the sharing out of the will, opposing the current one. It states that Jihad is HARAAM. This book even goes as far as attacking Allah, Subhanahu WA Tahala! The two American printing companies; “Omega 2001″ and “Wine Press” are involved in the publishing of “The True Furqan.” We must stop the distribution of this book. The book can also be found at: http://www.islam-exposed.org
This site should be shutdown.
Allahu Akbar!

A New American Quran?
Evangelical Christian group writes book challenging the Quran
During 2004 and 2005, allegations in several countries claimed that the United States was trying to impose a “new American Quran” on Muslims.
These claims are false. A small, private evangelical Christian group in the United States has written a book called The True Furqan, which seeks to convert Muslims to Christianity, but this group has no connection with the U.S. government. Furqan is another term for Quran.
The Allegations
Shaykh Ikrimah Sabri, the preacher of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque and Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, inaccurately claimed the United States is “forcing Muslims to renounce the Quran and adopt the book Al Furqan al-Haqq (The True Quran),” according to a July 2, 2004 Internet report by the Palestinian Information Center.
Mustafa Bakri, editor of Egypt’s sensationalist, anti-U.S. Al-Usbu newspaper, made other false claims in the newspaper’s December 6, 2004 edition:
- The first edition of The True Quran was published secretly in the United States and Israel.
- The True Quran was drafted with direct Israeli participation and with direct instructions from U.S. President George Bush.
- Twelve more books will be published as part of The True Quran series.
Bakri has a long history of making disinformation claims. Abbas al Janabi, who served as the personal secretary to Saddam’s son Uday from the mid 1980s until 1998, said in 2003 that Bakri had long been on Saddam’s payroll and was “very loyal to Saddam.”
The Facts
- The True Furqan was published openly, not secretly, in the United States in 1999. It is available on the Internet.
- The True Furqan was not published in Israel, according to its translator, Dr. Anis Shorrosh.
- The True Furqan was written in Arabic and translated into English by evangelical Christian Arabs who have no connection with the U.S. government. The book contains both the Arabic and English texts.
- The True Furqan is a private attempt by evangelical Christian Arabs to convert Muslims to Christianity. Its translator, Dr. Anis Shorrosh, describes it as “a tool to evangelize Muslims.”
- Dr. Shorrosh says the book is similar to the Quran “in style and substance … but contains the gospel message.”
- According to Dr. Shorrosh, there was no Israeli involvement in the preparation of the book.
- According to Dr. Shorrosh, The True Furqan is a stand-alone book, not part of a 12-book series.
The Quran is widely available for sale in the United States. In early January 2006, three large American booksellers, Borders, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble, each offered more than one dozen different English translations of the Quran on their Web sites.
Assalamu alaykum brothers and sisters
Do not be bothered by this christian invention of the True furqan, which comes no where near to fulfilling the challenge of the Holy Qur’an. They say that their book successfully imitates the Qur’an and therefore meets the challenge of the Qur’an to produce a book like the Holy Qur’an, but this is rubbish. I don’t say this because i’m a muslim, but i say this because i have heard what the inventors of this book say about how their book meets the challenge of the Qur’an. Here is a quotation from the ignorant authors of this false book:”…In answering the Qur’anic challenge, The True Furqan is written in both prose and poetry like the Qur’an, with the same style of articulation…”. How stupid are these people, any muslim who knows anything about the speech of the Holy Qur’an knows that the Qur’an is not written in both prose and poetry. Therefore if they have written a book in prose and poetry then they have not successfully imitated the Qur’an and therefore have miserably failed the challenge of the Qur’an. The christians have once again made a fool of themselves while trying to take on the muslims. They never seem to learn from their humiliating defeats at the hands of muslims in religious debates. Thousands of christians and other non muslims are converting to Islam every year and this has made them desperate.
May Allah give us victory over these christians who spread falsehood. Allahu akbar.
