Different Translations of Al-Fatihah

Below are 6 different translations of the first surah of the Qur'an, Al-Fatihah. Interesting how different each one is, and each one communicates a different tone. This surah is the least controversial of pretty much any other surah, so the difference in translation is not that big. So you can imagine that some surah, which are controversial, are translated very, very differently.
