I'm not trying to pick a fight. I know they *recite* it, and sometimes read through the entire scripture during Ramadan. But the only authentic version is the original in Arabic, I was told (and I believe Arabic is a rich language that is hard to translate accurately).
Amongst Muslims who only read, say, English, or Farsi (not Arabic) what percentage of them actually know what the book says (beyond, say, a handful of passages)?
Even though Christians and Jews aren't reluctant to read translations of their scripture, many of them don't know their scripture very well. I'm curious if this tendency is also true in Islam.
