If you wish to engage in the self study of Islam (because you do not trust the word of any Muslim), then begin with learning to read the Quran in the language it was revealed in and its true meaning. Also learn Islamic history.  Anybody can opine on Islam by reading the translation. Doesn't make their opinion valuable or credible. Its just their opinion. Sort of like my picking up a Bible and casting my own opinions on the scripture. I would be better off to study the language the Bible was revealed in and read original scriptures. If I can not do that, I turn next to priests or biblical scholars. I do not refuse assuming all Christians are liars. I find a priest or biblical scholar who seems trustworthy and ask him to help me understand Christianity. [/quote]
It's a rare, very rare Christian who feels their knowledge of their religion is incomplete without reading the scripture in their original language. Most Christians are perfectly comfortable reading and worshiping in their native language. Christianity is not burdened with contempt for translations or the obsession with the original language as a medium imbued with magical, untranslatable qualities. [/quote]
