So your knowledge of the Qur'an is non-existant. Don't try and pass that off as being anything please, unless joking, of course.
I haven't read any xtian or jewish shit in Greek, either. If it cannot be translated into other languages than what the hell good is it?
From what I saw it reads like second rate poetry.
I also haven't read any Jewish or Christian BOOKS in Greek - And I fail to see how that's even relevant.
In Islam, it is clear. The Qur'an does not exist outside Arabic. Arabic is a much more concise language than that of English, and English translations often make no sense as things are changed as a result (linguistic differences). Truth is black and white, therefore must not be altered. It wouldn't make sense to translate it into other languages if it can't be done. It's about the preservation of authenticity.
Before we go on Minimalist, I don't think I've really disrespected you, so can you please be civil and not so emotional about this? It'd really help the dialogue. (Not that you are sincere in it anyway, from what I can see here.)
