If I apply the word 'look' as a description for reading both the Koran and the Bible, would I not mean literal study, since I do study the Bible
But you dont study the Quran. Being that you are a Christian it would be critical to find out what you meant by "look". Cause your views of seeing or reading, as you have now confirmed, is not your own personal study, but through the biased views of others in which you your self have never "read" ie "looked" at the Quran for your self.

Talk about exageration, this is one of them. Robert Morey started this poision propaganda which is of an exageration based on what he experienced with a muslims friend of his and then wants to apply it to muslims in genreal.
Kai here is another one of your misunderstanding of Islam, that why I had every right to stress "look" with you to determine what you meant. If you have reda the Quran then you would have restrained from such a statement you maid.
1) It is commanded that every Muslim must read the Quran as much as they can in which reading and writing is a duty amongst every muslim male or female:
Read/Proclaim in the name of your Lord who created, created man from something that clings ! Read/Proclaim, and your Lord is the most bountiful whom taught with the pen taught man (male and female) what he knew not. 96:1-5
73.20 Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully),
therefore read what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way,
therefore read as much of it as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift, and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.[/quran]
2) The reading of the Quran in Arabic is to understand it
a scripture, its verses are explained as an Arabic Quran for people who understand 41:3
Indeed We made it an Arabic Quran so that you may comprehend 43:3
This is what the Quran teaches. If you are going to read something you should be able to try to understand it if not reading it would in vain.
We teach the Quran, and when we teach it (bi'idhnillah) we teach and explain the Arabic so that people understand what they are reciting. Anyone that teaches the Quran for only reciting it without understanding it goes against the above verses we posted about.
