2 massive mistakes (or facile attempts at lying) in this sentence.

The first one is "Unless you are Muslim you won't be able to understand Arabic grammar".

What a totally asinine statement.

So, if I show this statement to my Lebanese Christian friends down the road or take it to an Egyptian Copt - what do you think their response might be? Laughter and then derision when I explain the source of this statement would be a good guess.

And let's see - if I go over to Djakarta, Indonesia - and ask any of the 200 million Muslims there - who speak Bahasa Indonesian as their first language - they will be able to understand Arabic grammar?????

Sir, you must learn to distinguish what you think from facts - and what you wish from logic.

The 2nd point is that Arabic is ' .........based on the holy Quran'

An even more absurd statement.

Arabic derives from proto-Semitic language (2300BC) - which predates the Koran by some 3,000 years. So therefore your statement that Arabic is based on the Quran is totally and utterly FALSE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Semitic

and while you are at it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language

"............... How dare you say that Quran contains grammatical mistake. "

With this statement you are showing your indignation that the Koran might contain a grammatical mistake. You are so fixed in your beliefs that you think there are no grammatical mistakes whatsover?

Are you serious?

Again - watch out for that wishful thinking which you're so prone to fall into.
