Iran says cheap "Made in China" Qurans full of typos

[Locutus]

ran's Organization of the Holy Quran is scolding Iranian publishers who've outsourced production of the holy book to Chinese printers. Apparently, their copies of the Quran are riddled with typos, according to the Tehran Times.


"These tableaus are made quite cheaply in China but are sold for much more than they are really worth to make that much more profit," said an official with the organization who monitors and evaluates Qurans available in Iran.


The official even urged importers to halt future Quran shipments from China, the Times reported.
If you're keeping score at home, China is accused of shipping out seafood laden with putrefying bacteria, toys laden with lead, totally fake eggs and, now, tainted Qurans.

I find it difficult to believe that a product from China would not be the highest possible quality. Who would have thought?

Don't ask me, I'm just a zinfandel. Praise be to Allen.

What did they expect to happen? If you outsource something to another country who's main language differs from yours, I would expect there to be typos.

I wonder how many bibles are printed in China that are full of errors that nobody has noticed? Might account for some of the misunderstandings that some come up with.

That's because most Christians don't read the damned thing.

Wouldn't that mess up a lot of folk if they forgot not in those Commandments?

I heard a rumour during Desert Storm where the US outsourced a condom contract to Japan and got a few million condoms that were too small for the soldiers to wear so they were used to keep the desert sand out of their rifles instead. Can anybody verify that one?
