Bible moved to library top shelf over inequality fears
Telegraph ^ | 2/19/2009 | Lucy Cockcroft

Librarians have been advised to move the Bible to the top shelves to appease religious concerns in the Islamic community.

Muslims have complained that the Koran is often displayed on the lower shelves, which is deemed offensive as many believe the holy book should be placed above "commonplace things".

Now library officials in one city have been told to keep all holy books, including the Bible, on the top shelves in the interests of equality.

It has caused concern from Christian charities that this will put the Bible out of the reach and sight of many people.

How long before the Bible is kept in a box in the back room to appease Muslims?

Listen folks, it's line in the sand time. We keep hearing about troops dying and sacrificing to "protect our way of life", then we turn on the tube and hear about somebody else getting their head cut off!

I DON'T care if Muslims are offended! If they don't WANT to be offended, they can stay in Camelland!!

Jeesh!!

Maybe libraries should just not stock the Koran and be done with it?

Just say, “Our library is too commonplace for your Holy Book!”

EXACTLY RIGHT! Today I thought....the SOUL of America lies in Conservatives....those who believe in the founding documents .... ALL of them. The BIBLE was one of the FOUNDING DOCUMENTS....if only as a GUIDE....(I know..it’s freedom FROM Religion by the State).

I dont think the idea was to put the Bible on the same level as the Koran...

LOL

Boy, if the Koran needs such treatment, then Mohamed is a fairly weak deity.

And have their librarians risk beheading by the religion of pieces?

That is what the koran and haddith require.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

الاسلام هو شر لا مثيل لها ، ويجب القضاء عليه
