it is clear...mostly, but a lot of people sticks with it.

I mean, would you prefer reading a mostly right English translated Qur'an that you can understand or a completely right original Arabic Qur'an that you can literally not understand even a single word?

that's also what Imams are for; they know enough Arabic to translate Qur'an correctly and make sure the population gets it right...or that's what they are supposed to do at least.

let's say what's in decline is the "moderate" Islam; most of the moderates are either going full extremist and bomb stuff or go full atheist/agnostic/deist/whatever.

In Azerbaijan, there's a saying: "culturally but not religiously Muslim". In short, this isn't happening in the good inlightened countries like Azerbaijan and Middle Asia and Turkey (you know better than me likely, but isn't Turkey one of the Muslim countries that bans veils in public schools?) with long tradition of laïcité:)

the "best" "objective" source of Islam(both political and as a whole) is Qur'an, it's the only unquestioned thing between Muslims.

Practice =/ doctorine.

Hijab is free for like 10 years and I know some schools have started allowing veils, so it's definitely a detoriating law.

Turkey is the Eco The Dolphin of Islamic states.
