Ne lazu oni, vec tebi nedostaje obrazovanja i manira. Prvo, ne mozes bazirati svoje misljenje na jednom clanku, koji nigdje ne predstavljava tacnu statisticku osnovu za, niti navodi samu tvrdnju da je Kuran najcitanija knjiga. Dalje, pripadnici drugih religija takodjer studiraju svoje svete knjige i memorisu dijelove (kakve ovo veze ima sa bilo cim). Drugo, nemoj poput Jehovinih svjedoka da mene i slicne maltretiras sa jeftinom propagandom. Uzgred, evo ti malo statistike za studiranje:
