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.

Let’s see if they try to get them back and then sue everyone who disposed of it for a Hate Crime.
...a few suggestions for those who do not wish to keep the ones given to them:
8) Ham sandwich wrap.
Hence the reason an American citizen felt the need to make this clear... Sue Ann Pieri, a resident who chose not to destroy the book, as other neighbors did, told MyFOXHouston.com.
I didn't do it! Don't hurt me!
They put the Qurans on the ground?
IIRC, that’s not allowed.
The Quran is not to touch the ground or the floor, and neither are papers with quotes from the Quran.
I see a beheading coming up...
The only thing you need to know about Islam is the command to
conduct war on the unbelievers until they pay the Jizya tax.
IE, convert, be subjugated, or die
You forgot that the pages can be used for doggie toilet training and to pick up doggie doo during those daily walks. Also, the pages would come in handy when cleaning the chain on my bicycles, catching all the grease and oil drippings, helping me to keep my garage floor neat and clean! Hopefully, the pages have perforations for easy dispensing.
I was going to suggest a bonfire but I like your idea better!!!!!
If America is not a Christian nation, it will be part of the Islamic nation.
After the appropriate amount of time has passed they come and give you a Koran that you don't want, at the same time requesting that if you don't want it to call them and they will retrieve it.
When they arrive to retrieve the book anything you say will be taken as an insult to Islam and you will be so marked.
Those who don't return the book will be paid a follow up visit or receive a phone call from someone who wants to know if you wish to have Islam "explained" to you.
Any refusal will be taken as an insult to Islam and you will be marked.
Classic probing activity, finger in the chest pushing...
You probably should ping him when you mention him. :)
I’m seeing a huge bonfire in this town’s future.
Can I site the jerks that leave pizza fliers on my door too. Don’t even get me started about the 5 or 6 phone books a year
Run through wood-chipper, mix the results with cedar chips, stuff into large burlap sacks to make comfortable and figurant pillows for your dogs.
Leftover product could be used to sop up messy pig pens.
Most of the responses on this thread are a good example of why FR detractors are able to portray this site as hate filled and FReepers as bigots.
And why do I have a feeling that the people here would be the first to condemn and call for violence against muslims desecrating a Bible, that many of you are devout “christians”?
It doesn’t matter to me but when FR is criticized or attacked in the media, people shouldn’t be surprised.
I would welcome one left on my doorstep. That’s all I’m saying.
Who has the appropriate tagline to answer that? "All I need to know about Islam I learned on Septemeber 11, 2001."
I'd give the credit, but I don't recall who has it.
Hog farms commonly use recycled paper for bedding.
But I would just give them to my ritually unclean dogs for chew toys.
[Ibizan Hounds really love to shred paper]....:)
Organize a community effort to gather them all up and place them in the middle of a hog farm feedling lot.
Tell the “givers” they’re welcome to go in and get them back.
