A Feminist translation of the Qu'ran?

Hat-tip to Deirdre Good for pointing to Irshad Manji's blog and the project to make a new translation of the Quran. Manji writes:
This translation could have been available three years ago. You’ve likely never heard about it because the translators — two women and a man, all of them Muslim-Americans — have had a helluva time getting published. They reached a deal with a major U.S. publishing house. But after the Prophet Muhammad cartoon riots, the publishing house bailed on its contract.

Anyway you can download the translation here or buy a hard copy here.

Manji's site also has interesting links to a film she made called Faith without Fear.
