urban legend or truth about Quran passage?

I haven't seen this one posted here -

>>
America is typically represented by an eagle.
Saddam should have read up on his Muslim
passages...

The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)

Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair, still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

Note the verse number!
>>

Is there such a passage? Is the Quran even available in English?

No it a hoax http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran.asp

But fortunately slowly but surely it's becoming true.

Notice that MedMech and I posted the same link at the exact same time. Snopes.com has become the recognized expert at rooting out rumors and half-truths--I love it...

Reminds me of that so-called Nostradamus passage that circulated the web after 9/11 about the "silver birds" that would collide into two towers...
