Excerpt:

"An Islamic publishing house in Egypt has published what is says is a "forged" version of the Christian Bible, angering the local Coptic Church, independent daily al-Masry al-Youm reported Thursday.

The owner of the Islamic Enlightenment Publishing House, Abuislam Abdullah, wrote in the introduction that the reason behind the book's publication was to prove that there are several versions of the bible and that Christians had forged theirs.

Abdullah claims that the version he published was written before the Book of Genesis, the Christian Old Testament.

The Coptic Church says it is extremely offended by the publication of this book, and is considering filing a complaint with Egypt's Attorney General, al-Masry al-Youm reported."

1. Um...what?

I am trying to wrap my head around this story.

1) Group publishes 'forged' bible.
2) Wrote it to prove their belief there are several versions of the bible. (but their's is forged(WTH?)
3) Wrote it before Genesis (er...before god created everything?...but it's forged, so it's not real anyway?)

I am missing something.

Nope. that's the complete story.

I have a headache now.
