The Study Quran compared to other English Qurans

This video compares The Study Quran to two English translations of the Quran: I compare "The (new) Study Quran" by Harper Collins (Edited by Dr. Sayyed Nasr), The Meaning of the Quran" by Muhammad Asad, and "The Holy Quran: Text and Commentary" by Yusuf Ali.

This is Part 1: The second video compares the Study Quran with two study Bibles currently on the market. It is at    • The STUDY QUR'AN compared to Study Bi...

Disclaimer: As a western, non-Arabic speaker/reader and as a non-Muslim, I do not address the issue of the inspiration or veracity of the Qur'an. I am not qualified to do so. I am simply seeing to help other non-Arabic speakers/readers and students decide which English Qur'an might be a good basis to begin to study Islam and the Qur'an. One problem I see is that many Muslims worldwide are uneducated about what Christianity and our texts teach, and likewise, most Christians and westerners are ignorant of Islam and its teachings (esp. within it's context).

Please do not post inflammatory or argumentative posts/comments below as they will be deleted. It is not my purpose to argue or insult religion as this is against my own Christian faith as a follower of Jesus. Debate and argument has its proper place in both faith traditions, but the comments below are not that place.

Positives:
1.) A vast array of additional material otherwise not accessible to English readers.
2.) Done by Muslims and relying on a broad Islamic faith tradition and reflecting various schools within that faith.
3.) Fair to other faiths/struggles historically with the Unity of God as revealed by Jesus Christ, and as understood/struggled with by His early followers.
4.) Good concise book introductions that help describe the setting and historical basis of each surah (where known).
5.) Beautiful use of color, fonts, font size, and binding/cover

Negatives:
1.) No Arabic text alongside the English.
2.) No cross references (I touch on this more in my companion video to this one comparing the Study Quran with two popular study Bibles on the market) to better put into context controversial passages.
3.) The paper is too thin for daily use and for students/others who may not have proper respect for religious texts.
4.) Expensive at $60.
