Harder Than Chinese Algebra

Muslims consider the reciting of the Quran to be a "good" act in the sense that one gets bonus points towards heaven. Any parrot can do it. Some consider the recitation to be melodious. I prefer nails on chalkboard.

On the related matter, this reminds me of a, fake but accurate!, story:

Habib loved to watch the weekly show in which Muslims of various ages recited the Quran. One day when he was doing so, his friend entered the room.

Habib, stunned, stood up awkwardly.

"What are you doing?" the friend asked.

"Watching this, er, Islamic program."

"Why are your pants down?"

"Because I like the Quran ... a lot."
