Often muslims advice non muslims to read Quran to understand Islam, and not rely on behaviour of muslims. Although its a fair point, I wonder whether its possible to do, whether the investment in time and effort justifies the knowledge gained.
Some muslims say its not enough to read translated Quran, because translation might have lost original meaning in arabic. This requires huge additional effort, because classical arabic is not an easy language to learn, and to be competent enough to understand Quran is even harder.
There is also another oft-repeated remark about muslims following clerics instead of what is written in Quran. I would like to know what percentage here actually does it. (I know the pdf bias towards relatively well off and educated muslims, I wont extrapolate it to all muslims)
