[Serious]Hold the presses! New and improved Quran coming!
Borrowed from elsewhere.

Quote:China will rewrite the Bible and the Quran to 'reflect socialist values' amid crackdown on Muslim Uighur minority

- Beijing said all translated classic religious books should be 're-evaluated'

- The new editions must not contain any content that contradicts socialism

- Paragraphs deemed wrong by censors will be amended or re-translated

- Comes as China faces widespread criticism over its policy against Muslims


China will rewrite the Bible and Quran to 'reflect socialist values' amid crackdown on the country's religious groups, a report has revealed.  

New editions must not contain any content that goes against the beliefs of the Communist Party, according to a top party official. Paragraphs deemed wrong by the censors will be amended or re-translated.

Though the Bible and Quran were not mentioned specifically, the party called for a 'comprehensive evaluation of the existing religious classics aiming at contents which do not conform to the progress of the times'.
