(Laughter) Part of the problem, I think, is that we imagine that the Koran can be read as we usually read a book -- as though we can curl up with it on a rainy afternoon with a bowl of popcorn within reach, as though God -- and the Koran is entirely in the voice of God speaking to Muhammad -- were just another author on the bestseller list.
(Smijeh) Dio problema, mislim, je da smo zamislili da Kuran može biti čitan poput uobičajenog štiva -- kao da se možemo s njime zavuči u krevet na kišno poslijepodne sa zdjelom kokica pri ruci, kao da Bog -- i Kuran je u potpunosti u glasu Boga koji govori Muhamedu -- je samo još jedan autor na listi najprodavanijih knjiga.
