This article was written by non-Muslim Arabs in response to the strange translation of the verb ''daraba'' (meaning "hit" "beat" or "strike") that has been presented on a few websites which claim to have "modern" translations of the [[Qur'an]].<ref>Such as [http://free-minds.org Free-Minds.org] and [http://progressive-muslims.org Progressive-Muslims.org]</ref>  
An argument has been presented on some (progressive) Islamic websites and by some (progressive) Muslims and apologists which claim to have "modern" translations of the [[Qur'an]] .<ref>Such as [http://free-minds.org Free-Minds.org] and [http://progressive-muslims.org Progressive-Muslims.org]</ref>  


There is no argument made here against progressive thinking, this is something that should be encouraged. The objection and the need to respond lay in the fact that, rarely, are these arguments used in an attempt to "reform" [[Islam]]. It is only logical to conclude that you cannot reform something if you deny there was ever a problem with it to begin with.
