SALT LAKE CITY-- A Utah church is giving away free copies of the Koran in an Easter season ecumenical riposte to the recent burning of the Islamic holy book by a controversial Florida pastor.
The Wasatch Presbyterian Church has ordered 50 copies of the Koran to be distributed at a local bookstore starting on Monday.
"We're not promoting Islam, we're not saying the Koran is the Bible," said Scott Dalgarno, the church's pastor. "We're just saying that if people are curious, if they want their consciences informed on this issue ... then let them pick up a copy on us and read it and decide for themselves what to think."
Dalgarno says each Koran, which the world's nearly 1.6 billion Muslims believe is God's final testament, will have a bookmark insert that reads: "This book was donated by the leaders of Wasatch Presbyterian Church who are not afraid of truth wherever it can be found."

Free Koreans? Can they make kimchi?
From politicians to some church leaders; bending over backwards to please those that want to kill us.
Church’s motives = BARF.
But the more I think about it, no sane person is going to read the Koran and convert to Islam. It is a silly book.
In fact, the more people that read that nonsense, the better.
Call it the "dhimmi gimmie"...
**A Utah church is giving away free copies of the Koran ***
Do they come in two ply or must I use two pages?
Oh, but THEY aren’t REAL presbyterians, dontchaknow. s/
They’re that OTHER bunch of presbyterians. /s
No church, individual or organization of any kind should ever delude themselves into believing that they can appease Islam. The Muslim terrorist crowd (and that includes all of Islam) will simply laugh at you and at some opportune time, remove your head.
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (New International Version, ©2011)
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
We don't need no steenking matches.
Well, one of my suspicions about Presbyterians has been confirmed...
This is just too good to miss...
The more people that read it, the better. If more people were aware of what it actually said/promoted, less people would be making excuses for it.
If the church is trying to appease, they are fools. If they are doing this to actually get people to take an unbiased look, I support them fully.
I could use one as starter for my Barbeque coals....
Well guys, regardless which group of Presbyterians it was, I am sure they were some how double predestined to do what they did!!
Holy Triduum to both of you.
Wait until TROP realizes infidels have handled them and sullied them with their bookmarks!
