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.

I get a ton of stuff left at my doorstep that I’m not interested in.... my advice - just flush it.

Always good to have one around in case the linen closet is out of White Cloud.

*shrug*

I’d take it, hang onto it, read it, and use it to educate myself about how backward and homicidal a fruitcake Mad Mo was. They do have the right to tract the neighborhood as long as Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons and any other religious group can do the same thing. It’s just a very inefficient way to gain converts, if that’s what you’re inclined to do.

I can’t imagine real Muslims doing something like this. They know that people who get a Koran unsolicited may desecrate it.

I have, and occasionally read from, a copy of the Quran (”Know your enemy”).

But I have a few suggestions for those who do not wish to keep the ones given to them:

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.

These residents should find out who in their area is part of this muslim group, and drop off a Bible at their houses every day for a year.

Another example of this satanic cult using our freedoms to establish themselves here.

Sickening.

Put a .45 slug through the thing and leave it on the doorstep.

These residents should be careful what they do with them, else the “Religion of Peace” comes and kills them - after all, a piece of paper is more valuable than a human life, as muslims have proven time and time again.

Destroy a Koran - you must be killed
Destroy a human life - eternal salvation

Any questions about this “religion”?

It’s CAIR. They probably did it KNOWING that some would desecrate it. That way, they have a reason to be offended and outraged in the future.

It’s a trough muzzies seem to feed from a lot, so they’re just hedging their bets.

He told MyFOXHouston.com: "This is a very peaceful way of conveying a message."

I got the message.

Convert....Or else.

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

I'd take this as a threat. My first thought is, "are you leaving this book at my door as a message to tell me you're here in my neighborhood, and next time something more violent can be left there?"

Seriously, since this is, "a very peaceful way of conveying a message", is there a violent way of conveying "a message". And what is this message you're trying to convey?
