Talk:Apology of al-Kindi

Is there a real translation in English of this text?
The linked Muir edition seems to be little more than an (admittedly rather copious) bunch of quotations from the ancient work, mixed with paraphrase and lots and lots of Muir's own comments. One cannot really call it a translation as such. So, is there any real English translation in existence? -- 77.21.99.8 (talk) 14:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Egyptian Law Banned It?
Apparently any house and its neighbors should be demolished if it was found: Eventually the need to wipe out all traces of unbelief becomes obsessive. At one time, for instance, Egyptian law demanded that any house found to contain a copy of The Apology of al-Kindi (a book containing a polemical dialogue between a Muslim and a Christian) would be demolished along with 40 houses around it.
