Hi!

I recently was a bit Inet-abstinent.
The "Bible update" question is nothing to joke about because such an
update actually exists - The Holy Qur'an. At least this is what the
Qur'an says about itself. Unfortunately while the major message of
the Qur'an is interoperability (called "peace" in this context)
certain applications of it happen to strongly conflict with recent
security updates. There are also known issues implementing it on the
SoSaR(*) platform. One application used five years ago caused two
severe crashes that had negative effects to the world as a whole and
brought up issues that we all thought would never come up again. In
any case one should keep in mind that older versions have had
comparable issues (cursades, inquisition, ...). I am therefore
faithful that these issues will not persist forever.
Peaceful Christmas, Hannukha, Eid al-Adha(+), Midwinter/summer or
whatever you celebrate these days.
(*) Separation of State and Religion
(+) This is the Feast of Sacrifice that commemorates the prophet
Ibrahim's willingness to obey Allah by sacrificing his son Ismail -
jews and christians should be familiar with this incident besides
that the names are spelled a bit differently: "Ibrahim" is written
"Abraham" and "Ismail" is written "Ishmael".

I hear muslims say that the Bible contains a manipulated version of
words of Allah and wonder why I never hear anything about an effort
to restore the unmanipulated words.
