I got to the first line of your post and I just had to reply because you honestly do not know Muslims or Islam. The majority of Muslims I know, and I have come in contact with thousands because of my faith and the jobs I have held, know how to read the Quran in Arabic. Where in the world did you get that 95% statistic from!!?!

So this is WHY this has turned into a nearly 50 page thread. I spent three posts explaining to you already that children ALWAYS learn to read the Quran in Arabic. Are you the same person I was communicating with? Did you forget what I said?

Easy.  The majority of Muslims do not speak Arabic because it is not their native language  - I hope you agree with that, or do you think Indonesia has somehow shrunk to be smaller than Bahrain?  Out of the minority of Muslims who do speak Arabic, the group that understands Quranic Arabic is a smaller minority yet.  The fact that all Muslims can pray in Arabic doesn't mean they understand the meaning of every word.  Russian opera singers perform in La Scala with some regularity, delivering the whole parts in flawless Italian. Do you think they understand every word? Nope. They are just trained to enunciate it correctly - just like that 6-year old "hafez" from, say, Kosovo or Indonesia.[/quote]
