8) How do children and adults acquire knowledge on the basics of Islam (learning to read the Quran, basic Fiqh etc)?

Tablighis in some cities have started weekly maktab classes masha'Allah, and they are the exception,
as usual. Further, as mentioned previously, I've heard of a madrasa dedicated to hifz having started to
operate in Northern Italy.

Arabs generally are only concerned with teaching Arabic (not Qur'an, just modern Arabic language) to
their children; everything else is taken from here and there (Iqra TV (a popular Saudi Ikhwani-Salafi
“Islamic Channel”), internet, asking around, self-studying), for those who care a minimum. Otherwise,
you can find brothers born here who don't even know how to perform wudu'.

Generally, carelessness and do-it-yourself approaches are the norm: people most of the times is
satisfied with the very little they know, and the idea of asking to `Ulama' is almost unexistent, as
everyone is a Mufti here, and suffice himself with reading on his own the Holy Qur'an and deriving the
rulings as he deems fit..
