This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

"To demonstrate the singular hold the Qur'an has in Muslim society, Cools
tells of a woman who for thirty years communicated exclusively with
quotations from the Qur'an."

Daniel Pipes, reviewing _The Koran: A Very Short Introduction_ by Michael
Cook in the December 2001 issue of First Things.
