Iran slams Chinese publishers for typing Quran copies with spelling mistakes

PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran, which gave contracts to publishers in China to print copies of the Quran, has said the books are full of spelling mistakes, the Mehr news agency reported.

“Several Iranian publishers had asked for copies of the Quran to be published in China. However, the copies came back littered with spelling mistakes,” said Ahmad Haji-Sharif, director of the department of evaluation on publication of the Holy Quran.

“The copies were cheaply made in China but are being sold in Iran for much more than they are really worth,” he said.

The official even urged importers to halt future Quran shipments from China.
