It's very difficult to know what the teachings of Islam are if you take the quran and the hadith to be the teachings of Islam.
First of all you would need knowledge of the quran and a mind like one of the best lawyers in the world in order to remember and apply the knowledge.
Secondly you would need to understand the language the quran is written in.
Thirdly if I remember correctly even if you read, remember and understand all the verses, you still need to know what order they are in because some verses abrograte other verses.
Fourthly if you take the hadith into consideration then you need to know which haiths are the most reliable.
To me what looks very suspicious about the modern translations of the quran is that it usually has interperetations in brackets next to the verses. Especially in the more violent parts or where it seems god is being sadistic.
So for example it will say something along the lines of, men if you fear rebelion from your wives feel free to beat them (only lightly)
If you don't believe the verses of the quran (after reading and understanding them properly) god will burn you, then recreate your flesh, then burn you again in order for you to feel the pain over and over.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
