My parents don't want me to read a translation of the Quran?

I have been reading an English version of the Quran online and my parents are trying to stop me. My mom thinks that it could be a mistranslation by the "Jews". My dad thinks it can create fitna and might lead me astray? WTF?

That's crazy, Ying yang. Probably don't want you to have your own opinions on the Quran

That's hilarious.

Maybe ask your parents to get you a translated copy from a Muslim librarian they would trust? Tell them you really want to learn more about Islam.
