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.

"This is a very peaceful way of conveying a message."

As opposed to unpeaceful ways? Odd statement.

That suprises me too. The Koran is much, much holier than the bible (sarcasm, notice that I didn’t capitalize the ‘b’).

I can only imagine the unmentionable desecrations that took place wehen Joe Sixpack picked it up off his doorstep, and thought about his nephew, Kenny, who was blowed up in Iraq.

Most will get thrown away or stashed somewhere and forgotten about.

Also, it kind of makes me proud of this country when anyone can do this and not get decapitated. I’ll think we are really geting somewhere when there is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Ridyah (-5 sp)

I am in the Houston area, and have not yet received my free Koran. If I do become one of the lucky recipients, I do have a use for it. Currently, I use the free neighborhood newspapers to start the charcoal in my Weber charcoal chimney. I can just as well use the Koran as use a newspaper.

Bring it on.

I bet the edition of this thing they are distributing is heavily redacted! If you know what I mean.

Here is the organization that is leaving them.

Anyone want to send them photos of what happens to the books?

If they come back, turn the hose on them...after you thank them for the free kindling. No need to not be polite.

My personal choice is #4, litter box. With four cats, the litter can get a bit expensive. :-)

I have a simple solution.

Wrap them in bacon, then drop them back by the local mosque... and don't forget to take your dog along!

An added thought.

Perhaps it isn’t a desecration if the Koran is in Enlish and not in Arab with the flowery way they write.

I’m sure one of the Imams can figure this out.

Big mistake on the Muslims part, if these are true copies(and not edited versions)of the Koran they are hurting their own cause because as soon as anyone with an IQ over 10 reads the Koran they will realize what a muderous cult that religion really is.

1) TP 2) Kindling/firestarer 3) Bird cage 4) Litter Box 5) Paper Airplanes 6) Paper Hats 7) Paper Boats I’m sure others can think of many other uses which will help protect our environment by preventing the wasting of the paper used in these vile books.

Bird Cage Liner, And use for the Puppy paper training on a Koran....

Before you flush it or kick it, maybe you should flip through it and see what you could be beheaded for. Like being a Christian or a Jew.

The residents need to stack up all the Korans into one pile and burn them on Independence Day. Call it sane and safe fireworks and wait for the liberal nuts and advocates to start passing out lawsuits.
