#3 The doorstep, where I wipe my feet - the distributers are desicrating the book hey cair, isn't that a hate crime? You know what I do with those phonebooks?

#4 So if the thing ends up in the trash, where most of them are probably headed, isn't the Book of Signs Foundation guilty of exposing the Koran to abuse?

#5 You'd think the last thing they'd want us doing is reading their squalid little death diary. That would only confirm our suspicions and prove our point. Maybe it is a toned down version for western infidel-dog consumption.

#6 big Jim, you'd think that wouldn't you? But, I'd have to see what the translation said.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was full of all sweetness and light and nary a sign of "Kill the Jews".

I think they should all be returned with foot prints on them and wrapped in bacon.

#7 If this is a "moderate" organization, they have a good idea, but need some work on their execution.

That is, instead of leaving Korans, they should have used non-threatening door flyers with a "If you would like a free copy of the Koran, detach this postage paid postcard and be sure to include a return address, and one will be mailed to you.

We will also include "An Introduction to the Koran", written by Albert A. Whiteguy, which is a step by step pamphlet guide to reading the Koran, and our new DVD about "What it means to be a Muslim".

And granted, about 90% of the flyers would go right into the trash, this is typical for that type of advertising. Those who would send in the card might actually look at some of the material mailed to them.

It's called effective marketing.

#8 I wonder how quickly people would be crying "Hate crime!" if someone placed bibles on doorsteps in Muslim areas in Houston? Or better yet books like Robert Spencer's "Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam".

#9 How about mass mailing DVD copies of Wilder's Fitna
to erveryone in Detroit.

#10 "And the truth shall set you free." I'd read it, just to see what's in it, just as I read part of the Book of Mormon when they gave me one, and the New Testament someone gave me back at university. If it didn't match what I've been led to expect, one can always ask why.

#11 "Free toilet paper"

I have more respect for my ass than that, Iblis.
