    Also folks, Arabic Language misses vowels and dots,if Quran is the the" Words of God" only in its original language, why Allah did not reveal it in a language that was fully developed or brightly spread, e.g. Mandarin, English, Spanish or Russian?Only 150 millions Arabs speak Arabic.

    Additional question, why Arabic language always very difficult to understand or translate when an Infidel criticizes Quran?

    Dunno, ask one of the all-Latin Catholics.

    Christians going to mass, Jews abstaining from positive action on Sundays, Buddhist monks living in poverty, who said religion had to be convenient?

    If you ask me, it should be written in definitions and equations.

    You need a crash course on linguists. The languages you mentioned have no resembulance to the way they are used or spoken today to the time the Quran was written.

    Response: The prophet spoke arabic. Thus it would only make sense for the Qur'an to be in arabic. As for any difficulty in translating, one should not expect or be surprised of any difficulty in life, for difficulty is a part of life and is not a reason to justify bad conduct. One must overcome those difficulties and follow islam accordingly.

    If you ask me, there is nothing like the Tridentine Mass. Not sure if it's because it's in Latin, or just the way the sing it in the liturgy, or both. It's truly a remarkable experience. Sadly, this is not so common these days. Not since Vatican 2.

    It is amazingly to read how some leftists and "atheists" are fighting for the "Truth of Quran". Did you already replace Marx by Quran?

    Atheists don't believe in the Koran. Many "leftists" are Christians.

    lol you don't even have a grasp of the English language... But that's not point of post ;)

    It was revealed in Arabic because, brace yourself, that is the language the people of Arabia (I believe we are called Arabs too. Cool, huh?) spoke. I agree, Allah SWT should of made the Quran in something other than Arabic so that the Arabs could read it better... Wait a minute...

    Anyway, I don't see your point when today there are plenty of translations in numerous different languages. Just because you don't understand Arabic doesn't mean it is a bad language.

    By the way, I'm not sure what you are asking... Why is your English so hard to understand?

    Lol

    I think it's amazing that that's what you read into it. I don't think anyone but you mention any "truth of the Quran" here.

    You haven't got a clue what you're talking about. The studies of linguists is not a Marxist idealology.

    I agree, I went to Catholic schools and grew up with this ( although not a Catholic myself) raised as an Episcopalian I miss the liturgy from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
