You have either never read the Koran or lack the reading compression of a third grader.

I'm sorry to correct you.
My husband was a mechanical engineer. He worked for ARAMCO [Arabian American Oil Company], in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia...for FIVE long years. We lived in Najmah, the housing "camp," as they called it, about 100 yards from the Persian (they say "Arabian") Gulf. There was a HUGE petroleum refinery there.
ARAMCO used to BURN off all their natural gas but finally decided to capture, liquify and bottle the natural gas. Thus, the first LNG (liquified natural gas) plant began in Ras Tanura, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.

My husband set it all up and had to go to Saudi contractors for workers and THAT was open to enormous bribery. SO, the company made it a rule that the ONLY gift a Saudi could give an American was a KORAN.
A Saudi DID give my husband a Koran--light green hard cover.

So, naturally I opened it up and began to read it. Each page has HALF the page in Arabic and the corresponding words in English on the other half of the page.

I still have the Koran on my bookshelf and would be delighted to quote you anything you like from it.

Why the insult about my reading ability? Was it necessary?

PAX TIBI.
