Don't know if this is true or not but it certainly makes good reading.

This is something to think about. America is typically represented by an

Seems bogus to me, I looked at the 3 different english translations for the Quran listed on this site : http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/quran/

9:11 in each has absolutely nothing to do with what is posted above. Seems like someone is having some fun...

Probably the same situation as those "creative" nostradamus translations/rewordings to make his writings "predict 9/11"

"No, this isn't a legitimate quotation from the Quran (or Koran), the sacred text of Islam. The chapter and verse citation quoted above is a leg-pull, an obvious play on the USA's (the Eagle) launching of military action against Afghanistan and Iraq (the "lands of Allah") in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on America organized by Osama bin Laden (the "son of Arabia awakening a fearsome eagle"). That the chapter and verse selection match the date of the terrorist attacks (9:11) is another giveaway to the joke.

Depending upon which translation of the Quran one uses, the section corresponding to chapter 9, verse 11 actually reads something like this:

But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know. "
