Hi
Abood, I have prepared a skeletal document that you can adapt & use to promote this project to all those listed in my last post, as well as others you would like to involve.. Most of these people can be contacted on Facebook, Youtube or via a email. I can contact some of these via my fcebook account, unfortunately my facebook account has been closed my facebook.
Anyhow, here it is...
Hi
Just a quick note to inform you of an Arabic Translation project that is currently underway.
Abbas AbdulNoor, a former Imam and Egyptian Islamic scholar, who studied Islam at the prestigious Al-Azhar University, who after many years of doubt and currently 80 years of age recently came to the realisation that Islam was a falsehood.
He chronicled all his finding in a document written in Arabic here.

You will note this book is banned in all Arab and Islamic countries, and a brief search on google will show it is not widely publicised.
This is a brief section
About the author:
Abbas Abdul Nur was born in Damanhur in 1927. A Sufi Sheikh, pious Muslim of the Sunni sect, jurist, and chief of a Khanaqah. He inherited the religion from fathers and grandfathers recognized for their piety and strength of doctrine.
Enrolled in the Facuty of Theology at Al Azhar where he studied for three years. He decided to complete the fourth year at the University of Fuad I, Faculty of Literature, Department of Philosophy where he studied under intellectual titans such as Abdulrahman Badawai, Zaki Naguib Mahmood, Muhammed Abdul Hadi, Abu Reeda Al-Ahwani, Yusuf Murad, and others.
Despite all of that, he was disappointed in both universities and said that he wasted four years of his life. From Fuad I he transferred to the Higher Institute of Education and obtained a degree from there. He was awarded a scholarship from the Agency of Islamic Endowments to Study in Paris at the Sorbonne for a doctorate. And so he obtained what he pursued.
When he returned to his city, he resumed his religious endeavour so he became a preacher, imam, and a speaker in one of its mosques. He then pegged away at academic education and writing scientific and philosophical books and had several works in Arab and Islamic philosophy published recurrently in Beirut and Cairo. After he retired, he devoted himself to writing and research in the various fields of philosophy, literature, and religion.
But his intellectual life was not without worries and his religious life was not free of doubts. He grew up in a pious devout household; however, there was mystery, trouble, and endless queries in his mind. His mind was raising provocative subjects but his faith was enough to answer every enigma.
The conflict between science and religion started early with Abbas. A conflict that had no chance to be made public. Had this conflict emerged from the darkness since its inception, he wouldn’t have reached this degree of fervour that is conveyed in this unrivalled book. If he was allowed to express his mind and heart, the result would have been the same but it wouldn’t have been with such intensity and fervour.
Abbas is not responsible for the rejection of the Quran and the god of the Quran. Neither are the Quran or Allah responsible. It’s all Muslims and particularly the loudmouthed Mufassirun who are responsible for this bizarre Western view of the Quran and the god of the Quran.
The Muslims have extracted the Quran from its environment and presented it to us as an eternal, divine text that has no relation with the human thought and the circumstances of its origins. Which is the whole problem to Dr. Abbas. He wants nothing but to return back to history. A wonderful text in its time but full with mistakes and misguidances when not in its time.***
We ask the reader to read slowly in order to judge, to read the suffering of the author, and to let his mind and faith work together. Let the reader know that faith works when the mind is not working but not without it.
