No, no, no. They are not required to read the Koran. They are being required to read a book about the Koran. The question is, what's the bias of the book?

The US Naval Academy had (cold war?) signs in all the dorms back in the late 70's in the dorms; one saying was along the lines of "Know Your Enemy -- He Knows YOU!" Perhaps that can give you a little comfort -- if incoming freshmen can read the infamous passages (as another poster stated) directly that talk about killing infidels &c, then as a society we can be a little better innoculated against the "religion of peace" BS.

Andy Rooney thinks,
Anyone who's worried about what's happening in the world ought to read some of the Koran because it dominates the lives of 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, many of whom are unfriendly to us.
I think his analysis is pretty good, even if he works for the evil eye (CBS).
Why Islam Has A Hold On Muslims

In light of 9/11, this is yet the most chilling evidence the Republic and it's institutions of "higher learning" have already surrendered the America of Washington, Madison and Adams at the altar of of Marx, Farrakhan, and Steinem.
Are there any more subversive and treasonous entities in America at the moment than are the deans and faculties of 90% of U.S. Colleges and Universities?

A publically funded university has NO business making any religious study, or study of religion, mandatory.
This is liberal, PC, feelgood BS.

The last I heard was that it was UNC-chapel hill that was doing this. As a resident of NC if I were a freshman or one of my children was enrolling in UNC I would be calling my lawyer.

Last week I went out and bought a copy of the Koran and started reading it. I want to see for myself what's true and what isn't true about Islam being a religion of peace.
I also bought The Fecderalist Papers, which I never read before. I'm saving it for the five-hour plane trip from Boston to FRiva Las Vegas.

We need to be more understanding and accepting of other poeples culture and religions and if you don't like it we will force it up your asses. Sounds like America to me.

First never listen to the press. My understanding is that freshmen are required to read a book about both the Koran and a book about Christianity. Not the Koran or the Bible itself. The program is designed to render an awareness of both religions. This is being done on many campuses today. My problem is two fold. Which books? And who is teaching this? Not that it is being done.

This came out a couple of months ago, I remember FOX covering it, a couple of local radio stations here in Raleigh discussed it, but then it just went away. Correct me if I'm wrong CD but nothing was ever done about it. I do remember listening to Jerry Agar and one of the instructors called in. He himself hadn't even read the book and sounded sort of like a subsitute teacher.

This world is upside down.
I remember shortly after 9/11 one of the Christian leaders was asked how God could let this happen. The leader responded "you take God out of the schools, out of the buildings, out of everywhere, and then you want him to conveniently show up when you want him?"
They're taking out God, and as if that isn't bad enough they're replacing him with Allah. This is simply insane.
