#1 Goody! Now that it's spelled correctly, let's see if they'll seethe every time I line my birdcage with an article mentioning the Quran.

#5 However they spell it I've got on in my garage under my car. It's flat and very dirty.

#10 The Islamic Society of America is critical of the spelling "Koran"?

That seals it for me: K-O-R-A-N it shall be.

#19 The mind boggles at the options for proper spelling here.... anatomical and scatological inferences notwithstanding, (althought they are so appealing) I really want to figure out how our liberal friends and these creatures can take offense so easily, yet not understand that the intolerance of the koranimals isn't about spelling in places where they rule, bu rather entire books and symbols, and the role of women, and the proactice of literal class discimination based on gender and religion. How can you worry about offending those whose religion would demen you and impair your rights and devaule your very worth.....
