I can understand if there is no translation of Quran according to the Dawoodi Bohra religion as Taweel gets involved in it which they want to keep secret and that way they can interpret any ayat 10 different ways to suit their theme of the waez. But there are more in the religion of Islam for us to ...

Badrijanab :
Please don't equate kissing the Quran or Hajar e Aswad to kissing of graves or hands and feet of humans or even their socks, they are two different things just like sleeping with your wife or sleeping with a prostitute, same action but different results.
