I asked *whether* there are Muslims who have Korans that they can't read. It seems that the literacy rate in Afghanistan is 28% and in Bangladesh 52.5% - both countries with predominantly Muslim populations. Is it customary for the illiterate members of those countries to possess copies of the Koran? I don't know. I don't suppose many people in mediaeval Europe had copies of the Bible when it was only available in Latin or Greek - they used to chain them up the the churches to stop people stealing them.
