A Complete Translation of the Wafa Sultan - Al-Khouly Debate ...
Wafa Sultan's interview/debate on Al-Jazeera around a month ago has already been discussed to death in various newspapers, blogs, and private circles. The translation offered by Memri TV was the main source of information for most of the individuals who could not access/understand the arabic transcript Al-Jazeera offers.Meph, over at 'Aqoul has taken the time to fully translate the arabic transcript. Even if you already have seen the entire interview, it is worth the read. View the post here.

There is at least one serious difference between the two translations...
MEMRI Transcript (1-2 pages)
Dr. Ibrahim Al-Khouli: If you are a heretic, there is no point in rebuking you, since you have blasphemed against Islam, the Prophet, and the Koran..."

Aqoul transcript (12 pages)
Dr. Ibrahim Al-Khouli: If you are an atheist then there is no censuring you if you curse Islam, Islam's prophet or Islam's Quran.

It's clear that the two are almost opposite in meaning. Given the MEMRI edited out most of the other side its clear they have an agenda. I have no idea what Aqoul's agenda is.
