IF YOU BELIEVE IN BOOK THEN READ IT FIRST

I met many Muslims in different countries and when i ask them a single question. Are you a Muslim and do you believe in the Holy Quran?. Then most of the people gave positive response and look at me with astonishment that how could i ask this question from them. But when i ask the next question " Do you read and understand the Book?". Then i got the negative response from the majority of the audience.
What is this?. Is this a lack of Knowledge or wisdom?. We don't want to read or understand the Book. In my point of view most of the Muslim avoid to understand the Book, they think that if they read or understand the Book then they must obey the orders of the Book. They do not realized that Book is present and either you read or nor the instruction of the Book implemented on you.
We think it is the duty of scholars, Ulmas and Molvi of their mosque to understand the Book. We hire a man and it is his duty to understand the Book. We only use the Book when some one in our house die. Most of the people do not recite the whole Quran in their whole life. Most of the parents gave the knowledge of Quran in Arabic to their children and think that their duty as a Muslim complete. They never try to educate them about Islam, and how could they do because they do not himself have enough knowledge of Islam. We forgot to understand the meanings of Book in our own language. Most of the people recite two or more Surah of Quran for the sack of prayer.
We forgot the Quran and Allah forgot us. Kindly read the following verse of the Holy Quran and think for a minute:

"Those to whom We have given the Book read it as it ought to be read. These believe in it; and whoever disbelieves in it; these it is that are the losers."
(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 121)
