I dont think they should read the Talmud. They may not understand some of what is translated.

Well, there is always Jew-hatred.  The Nazi forums and they translate this in their own words, and it isnt even their sufferings.  If they want to go ahead and study it, yeah so?  But what for? Looks to me like they just want to find something to use against us.

That's true. Learning Torah out of spite will only lead to wrong answers anyways, another reason not for goyim to learn it.

I think the question is not right. "Should non-Jews study..." would be more appropriate, because no one can forbid Gentiles to learn it.
I personally learn Torah, because it's the Bible, and as for Talmud, maybe I would read it someday.
