Would you be upset if somebody brought a Koran into the jury room and used it in deliberations? I would. I wouldn't. In fact, I'd seize the opportunity to educate this juror on the woeful shortcomings of his religion, particularly with regard to the fact that the jury process is completely alien to Islam.

One of the reasons for banning outside materials for juries is to eliminate this type of distraction.

And you would have been kicked off the jury. It's not your job to lecture somebody on their religion during jury deliberations.
If you can't decide the merits of the case, you have no business on a jury.
