Tehran:
Iranian publishers are complaining that cost-saving plans to print Quran copies in China are yielding embarrassing results: A slew of typos.
The head of Iran's Quran oversight office says some of the Chinese-printed versions of Islam's holy book are littered with spelling errors.
Ahmad Haji-Sharif is quoted by Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency as warning consumers that lower-cost copies may have mistakes in the holy verses. He noted earlier this week that Iranian-produced copies are expensive but have passed a careful inspection for any flaws.
Officials are now discussing a ban on Chinese-printed copies of the Quran.
The copies of Quran that are in use in Iran often have both Farsi and the original Arabic.
Haji-Sharif didn't say whether the misspellings prevail in the Arabic or Farsi segments.
