Do you read Arabic?

Not fluently. I have to go to my references a lot.re: #139 researchok

Are there groups that regularly challenge the validity of the MEMRI translations?

CNN’s Arabic translators have mentioned it several times. Norman Finkelstein and Juan Cole regularly object. For integrity’s sake I’ll mention Al Jazeera but I acknowledge that Al Jazeera saying MEMRI mistranslates Al Jazeera forces a “he said/he said” position.

Use it. But recognize the bias and trust it as much as you trust Al Jazeera in English for the same underlying reason. Sometimes one is more accurate than the other, but neither is always better.
