wha?

[domenad]

Where's that delete button?

[kawaii]

Wow now Gore can claim to have written the koran!

[Don Corleone]

Are they going to Highlight the portions that emphasize the slaughter of non-believers?

[vox humana]

Will the electronic version have illustrated instructions for making bombs to kill the infidels?

[GSlob]

Good. Now plant there bugs and viruses.

[DigitalVideoDude]

A better link

[loungitude]

Hard to wipe ones a$$ with a computer.

[kawaii]

yeah the whole screen will be highlighted.

[reagan_fanatic]

I hope it comes with a FORMAT C:\ command.

[Lazamataz]

I think that's fine. No more ominous than an electronic or CD-based Bible.

[panuke]

I'm actually amazed they're allowing this. I didn't think Infidels could touch the holy, sacred book (of crap) yet Intel is doing this. Aren't they infidels??

[B.O. Plenty]

Uh-oh....

riots on the horizon

....mohammad didn't have computers, therefore an electronic koran is not the authentic word of whats-his-name.

the muslm "street" aint gonna like this.

Hmmm... 'rm *.*' ?

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

I'd be afraid to load this on my PC for fear my disk drive's heads would be chopped off.

[CaptRon]

Infitel?

[zarf]

I think it comes with optional explosive devices that works via garage door openers or cell phones.

[cinives]

So how do you respectfully dispose of your computer if it contains the Koran ?
