Remember, only ~200 million understand Arabic worldwide, and there are 1.2 BILLION Muslims. That means the vast majority cannot even read their own holy book.
Quran has been printed and published in local languages and in English as far as I know. So it's available to anyone who would read them. And those who have the boldness to read another religion holy text by themselves usually have read through their own.
