Do they read the source document of their own religious belief?

They'd better, even most of us non-believers have, and we're laughing at all the rediculous things in 'em.

Yes. There are many crossovers between the three. Knowledge is understanding. Not sure I understand all I read, but all 3 are very interesting as are people of different religions. I believe we all possess pieces of a very big puzzle, we are just not smart enough to put them together. We might truly find peace on earth if we did. Hatred causes war & war is big money for some. Peace with others would be so great, don't you think.

All Muslims read the Quran in their prayers regularly. Most Muslims read the Quran on a regular basis besides what they recite in their prayers. During the year, millions read the Quran from cover to cover. In the month of Ramadan, millions more read the entire Quran in mosques all over the world as regular prayer are held during this month and momorizers recite the entire Quran in 30 days. Infact many people memorize the quran in its entirety every year. They are called Hafiz (someone who has memorized the entire Quran).

Sure. Why wouldn't they? The Jewish Torah is actually part of the Bible, the first five books; but the entire Bible is "given by inspiration of God and is profitable...that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works"(2 Timothy 3:16-17).

I don't know whether other groups read their Torah and Bible, but yeah the kind of reading Muslims do is totally wrong...they are supposed to read it to understand it, but they actually recite the arabic version...for understanding them they often end up asking scholars....and this is where basically the corruption occurs...scholars explain them things that is not even written in Quran.

All three? At the same time?! I highly doubt it!
Enter the holy book battle zone. Who will win? The Torah, Bible or the Koran? Stay tuned for the big climax after we take this commercial break.

Some do, some don't. For centuries, the Catholic church didn't want their parishioners to read their Bibles, just listen to what the priest said and not think for themselves. I'm not sure if they've changed that or not.
It depends on a lot of factors: the priest/rabbi/iman, the sect, and the person themselves.

There was a guy I used to work with who was quite the bible "thumper". He would always bring his bible to work, and on lunch in the break room, he would read it and take notes. He said this was for a bible study class he attended weekly, although he never hesitated to proselytize to those of us around him. Annoying.

I personally do read the Bible on a regular basis, I have no idea about the others.

I know not many read the Bible. How do I know?? Well, if they did, the world would have ended some time ago.
