The author whose book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad sparked the Danish cartoons furore is now working on a new version of the Koran.
The controversial cartoons were published last September by the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten.
They followed a complaint by author Kare Bluitgen that he had not found anyone willing to illustrate a children's book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad.
Bluitgen told the Kristeligt Dagbladet newspaper that he was working on a "readable version" of the Koran, which he described as "heavy going" for ordinary people, which he expects to finish early next year.
"I cannot imagine that this will be quite as controversial", Bluitgen told the newspaper. "A few fanatical extremists may be angry, but that is up to them", he said.
^ let him write - does it really make any difference? - Allah[swt] has said that He[The All Knowing] will Protect Quran.
"What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it goes with me wherever I go. To put me in prison is to allow me to have a private devotion to Allah. To execute me is to give me martyrdom. And to kick me out of my land is for me to journey in the path of Allah." -Sheikh ibnu Taymiyyah
The more people who get super-pissed about it, the more it copies it will sell. People dig controversy. How else do you explain the Da Vinci Code's success?
Is it like a smaller version or is it like he is taking some parts and not telling about the others? Personally I think it is the intentions that matter. Is the intention writing a more "read able" version, it is one thing but is it to take some aspects and leave out others in a diffused purpose it is a quite different thing?
The Bible is written in many "read able" versions. I do not know if it is some thing that says in Islam that you not are allowed telling only a shorter part of the Quran?
Maybe I should tell that I have no idea regarding his book regarding Prophet Muhammad, how it was written. Was it a bad written book or was it just a couple of journalist that took a version they had and did some bad things with the help of it?

Sis Annete - There is no version of Quran - its plain Quran, nothing can be added or removed from the Glorious Book.
ps: Its not Muhammad [PBUH] Book, its not Muslims Book, its The Book for Humanity by God.

I realize from your answer that I know to little regarding this issue. I thought of the person, as a man like any man. But it is clear that it is more behind this then I understood.
I thought he wrote a biography, like any other biography, and that the journalist used it to have a history regarding the Prophets life and he had nothing to do with that thing.
I am sorry if I offended anyone.
Is it against Islam write anything like a more “read able” version – if the intention is not bad?
Even it was written,it will not succeed the idealogy of the author hidden.
The quran have many miracle and example is you can memorize the quran, while the other scriptures like bible is naver memorize. Even though the author publish it, his version can naver be memorize. He will be punish and face many enemies.

Sorry I did not know. I thought he wrote a version in text not anything else. Feeling real stupid not knowing.
