The stories told in this video are all too common.
The façade of truth only has to last as long as it takes to get married and get a green card.

Can the Quran Be Translated?
Many Muslims claim the Quran can't be translated.
At the same time the Quran contains many quotations from people like the Pharaoh or the Hebrew prophets who never spoke Arabic.
So in principle parts of the Quran ought to be able to be represented in other languages more accurately than the Quran represents them.
Usually when Muslim say the Quran cannot be translated it is because there is a passage they do not want to discuss. It is basically a trick. If you ask them to explain the passage in English, they will be able to do so--but if they can explain it then they can translate it.
