A Muslim told you? Very few Muslims understand the Qur'an yet alone are honest about it. Look at Islamic apologetics. Yes a Muslim CAN go to Jahannam BUT if his evil deeds outweigh the bad he will enter the hellfire for a short time. The issue though is that just like Christianity unless you accept Allah then you are technically saved even if you endure punishment for a short while.
Quote:It's kind of strange how many of the quran translators dont understand Arabic too. There seems to be so many versions of the quran about and every one of them is full of bad translations.
The translators understand Arabic but they prefer the ruling of the madahib then the literal Qur'anic narratives. THe Qur'an is translated through use of the tafsir and many exist. The issue is that they are all conflicting since the Qur'an is written in sadj prose and is in Classical Arabic which is equivalent to comparing modern English to Old English. It just makes no sense.
What you are reading is an "interpretation" of the Qur'an as many put it.

Do you think they deserve it?
What do you mean? Are you asking if I think that an infidel to a particular faith such as Islam deserves to go to hell?
