Residents Angered by Group's Distribution of Korans
FOX News ^ | July 2, 2008

Posted on 07/02/2008 10:57:09 AM PDT by bamahead

Some Houston residents are upset after Korans were left on the doorsteps of hundreds of homes in their neighborhood as part of a campaign to educate people about Islam.

Residents of Braes Timbers in southwest Houston began finding the holy books two weeks ago, MyFOXHouston.com reported. The Korans came with a note saying they had been left by the Book of Signs Foundation, which claims to have distributed 30,000 free copies of the texts to residents throughout the city.

Wouldn’t bother me a bit. I am sure I could find some use for the paper.

It’s a desecration to the koran to put it on the floor. At Gitmo guards have to handle it respectfully with gloves and provide inmates with what I think was a type of surgical mask so that they have a little holder for their korans and hang them up—saw that in a picture of what a cell really looks like recently. But then with islam why should we expect consistency?

Build a bonfire, film it, and post the video on YouTube.

See how long it stays up.

Call the local Police and have them cited for littering.

Then use the pages of that disgusting evil screed they call a holy book to light your barbecue.

Good idea! Add in a bottle of Ripple as well! Most people being lazy would just throw it next to Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader.

I can't believe I am saying this, but really, if the Gideons can do it, then so can LeVey's Church of Satan, The Wayside Tabernacle of the Blinding Light, Inc., and the Hari Krishnas, and anything else that calls itself a religion can also, regardless of how outrageous or silly a cult it is.

What is baffling to me is that they are so idolatrous of their Book, in some countries they employ people to go though rubbish to make sure that no used Qurans are made into pedestrian or vulgar articles. Given that CAIR is forever outraged at mere RUMORS of Koran flushing, I cannot understand why they would expose the Books to the treatment they are certain to get from people who do not think 9-11 was a joke- Or from people who righteously despise them for a variety of other reasons.

Were I to get one, Yes, I would read it as far as I could, but I doubt it would earn a treasured place on my bookshelves, and I suspect that if I hit too many passages that got me cranked up, a trip to the Range would probably be in order.

Oh my heck, this is such a set-up!! Once they have any ‘evidence’ of someone ‘desecrating’ this precious book all hell will break loose.

btw, I thought we’d been told ad nauseum that this book was too precious and sacred to be treated in such a casual way...... leaving it on doormats???

Sounds to me like CAIR is getting ready to persecute this entire community as soon as they can round up any evidence that the precious book has been damaged or stepped on, etc.

They screwed up their own countries so bad they had to leave, and now they’re here screwing up ours — and littering.

I’d give it to the dog to play with in the yard. Of course, the stinkfingered bums wouldn’t come to my door with the dog in the yard in the first place.

I believe in creative solutions. In addition to the bacon wrapping, and having your companion dog, there should ALWAYS be a good Christian tract along side a Bible.

Take the time to reward their efforts, with some of your own.

Oh, yeah, bandage your right hand, and offer your left to shake with their right hands. Just don't shake THEIR left hand! You don't want to know why!

Substitute America for Canada in caption...
