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.

I’m familiar with ritual cleansing.
Is there an actual process for ritual UN-cleansing? Does it involve rolling in dead stuff?
Sounds like a hate crime. No different than hanging a noose in someones front yard or burning a cross.
“Does it involve rolling in dead stuff?”
Only if you don’t happen to have a cow pasture nearby....:)
When was the last time the MSM described the Bible as a “holy” book. Equal time demands that whenever they reference the Bible they use the adjective holy.
I’d have to see if it’s better than the one I currently have.
Know your enemy.
Have a contest for the most creative way to use it. Winner gets a free Bible or whatever.
“wants to educate non muslims about the religion”
It goes both ways—I guess it’s not a hate crime to leave bibles on muslim doorsteps,then, in an effort to educate them about Christianity.
So you're saying it's wrong for me to be bigoted against a bunch of people who say they're commanded by God to either convert, enslave, or kill me?
Why I had no idea how closed minded I was being. Thanks for pointing up the error of my ways.....
Yea, that's sarcasm by the way.

For about 1500 years Christianity pretty much held the same beliefs. Eventually cooler heads prevailed and most saw the error/hypocrisy in this position/policy.
But the portions of the Bible that the held out as justification for torturing and murdering hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are still there. The difference in the two was how one intepreted it.
Do you believe every single one of the one billion muslims in the world want to enslave and kill you? (I left out conversion because there is nothing illegal about trying to convert someone).
The difference between us and them is that we no longer believe that crap. They still do.
The difference in the two was how one intepreted it.
So what's your point? The vast majority of the followers of that murderous syphilitic pedophile believe the have the right to convert us on pain of death (which I should have said before), enslave us, or kill us.
Do you believe every single one of the one billion muslims in the world want to enslave and kill you?
The vast majority of them do.
(I left out conversion because there is nothing illegal about trying to convert someone).
It is when you threaten those who refuse with death....
islam is a cancer on the planet which needs to be excised by any means necessary.
See tagline.

The vast majority of them do.
I'm not going to go into it, it isn't worth the effort. But this answer shows me your emotions pretty much dictate and control your mouth, maybe your mind.
Nothing evil about it, but because of it your opinions cannot be trusted.
Better yet not drop off Korans in the first place.
And your response shows me your logic circuits ain't quite hooked up all the way.
Why don't you hop a flight to our good national buddies the Saudis capitol city with an armload of Bibles and start handing 'em out. See what happens to you.
Then get back to me about how the 'majority' of muslims are decent peace loving folk.
People like you will refuse to acknowledge the danger this poisonous political philosophy which is masquerading as a 'religion' poses right up to the point they're sawing your fool head off.

More about the Book of Signs Foundation - it’s parent organization the al Furqaan Foundation and it’s founder,
“Wajajat Sayeed [founder of BoSF] is also the director of the MLFA (Muslim Legal Fund of America). This fund is a coalition of Islamists including CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations), named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial; the MAS (Muslim American Society); and the American Muslim Task Force associated with the far left, such as the ANSWER Coalition. The organization clearly is a mouthpiece for the Holy Land Foundation victimology propaganda and believes among other absurd apologetics that Sami al-Arian is wrongly accused - note - nothing about Muslim responsibility in Islamist-inspired terror. The goal of Al-Furqaan as stated on their website is to put a Quran in every household, hotel room, hospital, college dorm, and retirement home in America. The translation is endorsed by the toxic Zakir Naik, and his entire Wahhabi-Deobandi proselytizing mission for Islamism (i.e., political Islam).”
Man, it’s not pretty. The Houston report doesn’t even begin to tell you the whole story about this outfit and their toxic Korans. Read it all at Creeping Sharia.com

I would get a group together from the neighborhood, that had received the Korans. Gt the news media involved. And burn the korans. making a statement, “We do not want to have anything with this sick religion”
But lets not forget that the ROP in Houston could be confronted by those same Texans who do carry guns and the outcome would not be good, no amount of worship of a book will amount to anything.
If I was a law enforcement person, I would be on my toes because that is the first thing that is down, invite to become Muslim before any future attacks.
Horn: Where are ya? There gonna put a Koran on my porch.
911: Stay inside Mr. Horn
Horn: I’m going buddy...
Is this Houston’s chance to submit and pay the pole tax?
