"A second Syrian, Ahmed, said: “We like all religions, but if you are a Christian, and I give you a Qur’an, how would you feel?”

Good question Ahmed.

I might feel bemused.
I might feel honored that you would try to share something you hold dear with me.
I might feel challenged to reciprocate by sharing my faith with you in the same spirit.

But which ever of these (or some other reaction I have not considered) I can guarantee I would not be insulted, infuriated, belittled or set upon.

Now - if you presented your Qur'an in the manner that many of your fellows do, under the threat of violence, with philistine pig-ignorance and murderous intent and the purpose in hand and heart to either subjugate me or kill me, well then yes, - I might be a bit miffed.

And to The Guardian, THIS is real evil.

Preaching the Bible.

Not beheading little kids and burning women alive.
