This is a question which has likely been done to death, but a search turned up nothing.

I'm just wondering, with all the religious discussion on here, how many people have actually read the holy books of other religions to their own (if they have a religious ID at all) or studied the culture, theology and background to those religions.

It just seems that there's an awful lot of misunderstanding going on about some religions (especially Islam) which could be sorted out by some basic research into that religion or that particular theology.

I can say that I've read most of the major religious texts, including some in their original language.

What about my fellow MBers?
