I certainly do, I spent many years memorizing the bible, studying the torah and certainly the Quran. I think everyone should, but what is your opinion?

In order to understand religion and be without prejudice, yes everyone should study those books before they cast an opinion about the different religions.

I continue to study all the time. I do not study what people call the NT of the Bible, as I was raised a Christian, and could not accept that Jesus is G-d. G-d is One.
I do take alot of classes on the Holy Scriptures, and we read the Torah thru yearly at synagogue.
I study the Qur'an, along with the book by Abdullah Yusef Ali, which explains it.
I think most people just follow what their religious leader tells them, and that is it. I do not think that many people are even interested in learning more.

Yes the Holy bible and the Torah..I don't know about the Quran although they teach about the same..I noticed thier are lots of rules and laws in both of Torah and Quran,,I believe that Jesus is the new law and it is simple,,love your neighbor as yourself,,follow the laws of moses but we are not under those laws they are just a rough draft for us to follow..Thats how I feel,,you may think differently...

Muslimah,
Sure, why not? I guess each according to their ability of desire. Nothing forced upon people. Many ofr the people here have some knowledge about all of them, but do not understand them. They think that they have to live by the old laws, and that simply isn't true.
I know the Old Testament, and the New Testament, the Quran the least, yet enought to see that its a ******* from the devil.

I suppose, just for purposes of discussion. But I'd say your "faith" prevents you from actually taking an intelligent view of any religious text.
I've studied all three texts you mention, and many more. Comparative religion ought to show the unbiased researcher the essential similarities between different forms of religious expression, and the essential truth at the core of every religion; but for that very reason it also ought to show that to subscribe to any one religion at its face value is simply arbitrary sectarian bigotry. Unless you do it in a strictly pragmatic sense, thusly: "Religion A is better suited to my own temperament than Religion B or C. Therefore, I choose to employ its symbolism and ritual for my own spiritual workings." There is nothing intrinsically "special" about the respective dogmas of either (according to tradition) "Moses," "Jesus," "Mohammed" or whomever - as everybody can see with regard to other people's religions, but never his own.

Na, faith in life, karma, god in it self is what i go by. Why do I need to read what fiction some past L. Ron Hubbard try to make a few buck for. I read Steven king and it's just fine. China has great fiction in there stories, you don't see us going to war over any one believes. Over someone dinner but not believes.
If you want to know other people it's always good to know where they stand and why they love you or hate you, or if you step on there toes.

Yes. My husband was a Mormon Missionary for two years, and through his travels, got to know his muslim neighbors quite well. The gave him a copy of the Quran - it's one of his most prized possessions, not only because it really does open you to understanding others. I think that world religons should 'discussed' in school, in the scope of social studies.

Knowledge of the Books is good as long as a person is pure of heart so they can understand them. The Qur'an is the only true book untampered so it best to spend most of your time studying it. However, I think it's just as or more important to focus on knowing Allah. This is done through regular meditation (Dziker) on Allah. I'm sure you already know this. Wasallam!

Muslimah, expand your horizon.
Also, what do you mean by people of faith? You think Pagans, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintos etc. are not people of faith? They do have faith in God, but just it is a lot different from how you perceive it.
Try learning some Dharmic traditions and compare them with Abrahamic ones, especially in terms of hate speech.
