Dear sister,
I don't think you should use such aggressive language. Would it not be better to say "I think people should learn the language of the land" or "it would be really good for them to do that" or something with soft language...
Instead your statement is very harsh and comes across as intolerant and xenophobic...it sounds like the words of an anti-immigrant republican.
There are so many old people who move to America to be with their families...do you really expect these people to learn the language?
In regards to the thread in general, I think it is insulting in general. First off, almost all scholars living in the West do speak English...some have broken English but they do know the basics...some more than others...
But to point to them in an accusatory tone...well, this is not appropriate. If you have such a big problem, then go become an Islamic scholar yourself. It only takes about six years or so.
