Our debate started with the Quran - that is written in a Classical form of language.

------------------

For the readers: I suspect that most Arabs would have no clue that in hadhan lasahiran is poor Arabic grammar because of

1. Poor education and total disregard of teaching children proper grammar

total disregard? really - you can see whole of palestinian Sylabus and books PDF online - just google it. And seee their level of Arabic language.

2. Most msulims in the Arab world are illiterate so it really does not matter

Simply not true - levels aren't good - but again check the stats with UN, USA Govt, etc

3. Most Arabs as in the case of Egypt speak a very different Arabic and in the case of Egypt Egyptian Arabic where grammatical cases do not exist

True - but all Religious school teach Classical ARabic - it takes about 6 months intensive and you move nto learning Jursiprudence, Qura Hadith etc Also you learn ...... semantics, eloquence, etymology and other language sciences. See for example www.arabicgems.co.uk.

----------

Western Scholars by their own admission do not take this as mistake. I asked him repeatedly he never brough anyone. Yet he claims to be expert on the subject.

This ... cannot write Arabic - so he uses transliteration - when he tries Arabic he fails miserably.

Most actual scholar regard likes of Sibway as grammar and linguistic genius. But this over blown pus - declared them of not knowing Arabic. Just how idiotic is that?

Forget Arabs - go to any Israeli Jewish Scholars - even they do not take this as mistake ad understand the resons why.

-------------------

He just go this guff from Answering Islam of techy Christians. And even they do not believe in this!

I have above systematically DESTROYED him above.
