Visiting the countless pro-Islamic websites, forums and blogs on the net, you are almost guaranteed to be confronted with this verse. But try as you might, you will not find it in a Qur'an, regardless of whether or not you're reading it in its original [[Arabic]] or in one of its many English translations. The reason for this is simple: the verse in question does not exist.
