The claim that you can only correctly understand the Quran if you read it in Arabic, is nonsense. The texts and scriptures of all cultures have been translated into world'S languages, and where the linear translation was difficult, the diversity of differing translations compensate for the loss in the single one. I have done a version of the Tao Te King myself, working with six German and three English translation and with assistance by a buddy who is Sineologist, so nobody tell me nonsens here.

When Islam claims the Quran must be red in Arabic, then this is for only just one single reason:

CONTROL.
