'A Koran in every home' project makes waves

A project by Salafist Muslims to give away 25 million German-language Korans across the country—by mail and in town centers—has been slammed by a conservative politician, calling it a disturbance of the religious peace.

“Wherever possible, this aggressive action must be stopped,” Günter Krings, a top member of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union parliamentary party, told Die Welt daily newspaper on Wednesday.

“Although there is in principle nothing against the distribution of religious texts,” he said, Die Welt reported he added that the radical Salafists were disturbing the religious peace with their aggressive methods.

The newspaper said that German intelligence services rated the campaign’s initiator Ibrahim Abou Nagie as a dangerous Salafist preacher.

His aim is to give away 25 million free German-language copies of the Koran to non-Muslims—his campaign is called “Read! In the name of your Lord who created you." Additional copies are also being distributed in Austria and Switzerland.

I was trying to think how useful a Korean in every house would be.

If there's a riot in your vicinity, maybe quite a bit:)

So what? I read this BS almost 20 years ago and it left me completely unimpressed. As far as I know there are 4000 konverts per year in Germany today. This is a completely irrelevant number for a country with 82000000 inhabitants. Fact is that religion lost its importance in most European societies anyway. Rather hedonism than islam is the European Problem.

Silly Muslim! Germans are quite good at book burnings.

Also, the Germans remarkable expertise in direct reduction of undesirable populations, IIRC.

The muslims have forgotten that the Germans burned many books they did not agree with in the early 30’s. The koran, piss be upon it, should be one of them.

It is the enemies primer.
