Hamza Tzortzis talks about why it is important to read the Quran in a language you understand. This talk is part of a series for http://www.TheQuranChallenge.com where we ask you all to read the Quran in your own language.
Why doesn't it make it true ? More universality ? It is the world's second largest faith group with almost 1.8 billion people. 25 %, 1 out of every 4 people is a Muslim in the world (Bbc). Only 15 % Muslims happen to be arab. The rest 85 % don't even speak arabic. Indonesia where they happen to speak Indonesian, not being an arab country has the largest Muslims population. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Don't you have Argentinian Christians and Italian jews ?
@blackarmour100 "There's nothing racist about it since you can find translations in every language. The Holy Quran is meant for all humanity. /watch?v=KBj227G7MNk"
It is racist. I expect more universality from a powerful being that is supposedly capable of anything. You can say the Quran is meant for all humanity all you want, but it doesn't make it true.
@TADahar Because it was revealed in Arabia, the language of the land but isn't exclusive to arabs just like the bible was revealed in Hebrew, the language of the land and is not exclusive to people of Israel only. You do know the present day bible you read is a translation ? Why wasn't the Torah revealed in Russian to Moses ? There's nothing racist about it since you can find translations in every language. The Holy Quran is meant for all humanity. /watch?v=KBj227G7MNk
@blackarmour100 You missed my point. Why just one language? What's so special about Arabs and their language. It's really quite racist to suggest that an almighty being would only send his last and most perfect revelation in just one language. There's more than one language in this world, and a powerful being would have no trouble sending the same message in multiple languages.
I just want to ask "What's the point of sending all these prophets if you already knew that their holy texts would be corrupted?" why not send One with a never changing holy text?

@blackarmour100 Did you get the part "one uncorrupted holy text" or are you stranded on the "One prophet"?
