I believe that many Muslims would say that Arabic is the language of God, or that translating the Koran is impossible, immoral, etc. I have nothing against Arabic, in fact my grandparents were native speakers and my father also spoke it, but I believe there have been similar struggles or themes in Christianity.
For centuries the Christian church insisted, I believe, that Latin was the language of God and of the Bible. Also, I believe that even to this day there are some Christians who believe that the King James Bible is the only valid version, as proclaimed by God.
As long as a religion is inextricably linked to a certain piece of land or to a certain language, it will be a limited incomplete religion.
I guess that according to Ra, religion is a distortion, anyway.
A good explanation from Bashar
