Probably the very youngest of children who haven't learned how to read just yet.

More likely is that the data size is so small or there isn't any data on it. Georgia and Somalia don't have data either.

Even the youngest of children can read in Liechtenstein and North Korea.

Also, I don't think Vatican City is known for its plentiful supply of young citizens.

I have absolutely no clue.

Honestly I think we're just kind of drifting with occasional attempts by BP to bash Islam.

Jews? Nigh 0%.

You don't seriously try to counter it with the question of jewish literacy rates, right? i mean, forget the fact i made that jewish remark only since its a common joke that jews only answer to questions with more questions and so this silly counter argument shouldn't even happen (and seriously, stop trying to counter valid arguments with anti-christian or anti-jewish arguments, its becoming pathetic), but, are you seriously trying to compare islam illiteracy rates with judaism?

Of course it varies by countries, so?

The muslim population, as a whole, has a literacy rate. find out what it is. find out what percentage of muslims who can actually read and write ever finish high school. find out what percentage of muslims have access to a computer with internet connection. find out what percentage of muslims can actually speak english. realize why there's relatively so few muslims who can answer questions about the quran:

1) The majority of them can't even read it in any language.
2) The majority of those who can read, can't read the quran in  arabic (Which many of them believe is mandatory for reading it)
3) The majority of those who can actually read it, never actually read it.
4) The majority of those who can and have read it, can't communicate it with you.

hence. there's a very small minority of muslims who can answer questions about the quran and since they are probably not here, its pointless to ask "them" questions about it. (There is a highly literate, highly intelligent egyptian bay12er in the creative board, but i dunno if he is muslim though)

Well, yeah, we know we don't have Muslims on this thread, is that your point? I think a lot of the problems are with the way you say things though. You'd make a cooking recipe offensive if it was about Muslims.

Pretty much this.

As for muslims on the forum, the only one that I know who could be muslim would be Leatra, but that's only because I know he's from Turkey.

He's an atheist AFAIK, but I guess he knows a thing or two about Islam the same way I'm an atheist and knows about Catholicism, simply from living in a Catholic country and a Catholic family.

Mm-m, Muslim pie.

...

Also, bp? Please stop going on about Islam. I don't care how justified you think your opinions are - I (and likely many other people on this thread) am tired of hearing them.
