CAIR distributing anti-Semitic Quran
GREAT.
CAIR, the Islamic apologist, pro-terrorist group, is now sending out free copies of an English translation of the Quran to anyone who requests it (even me). :wink: This should make for some interesting reading, don’t you think?
From Americans Against Hate:
(Coral Springs, FL) In response to the Newsweek article alleging an incident where a Quran was flushed down a toilet by U.S. interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has announced that it will be giving away “free” Qurans. The name of the project is ‘EXPLORE THE QURAN.’
According to the national headquarters of CAIR, the version of the book they are giving away is ‘The Meaning of THE HOLY QURAN,’ translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. This is the same version that had been permanently removed by the Los Angeles public school system for having anti-Jewish statements within its commentaries. The banned books had been donated to the schools by the Omar Ibn Khattab Foundation.
One of the cited offending passages reads, “The Jews in their arrogance claimed that all wisdom and all knowledge of Allah was enclosed in their hearts… Their claim was not only arrogance but blasphemy.” Looking under “Jews” in the index of the book, one finds: “became apes and swine,” “cursed,” “enmity of,” “greedy of life,” “slew prophets,” “took usury,” “unbelief and blasphemy of,” “work iniquity,” and “write the Book with their own hands.”
According to Khaleel Mohammed, in his piece about various translations of the Quran: “Writing at a time both of growing Arab animosity toward Zionism and in a milieu that condoned anti-Semitism, [Abdullah] Yusuf ‘Ali constructed his oeuvre as a polemic against Jews.”
CAIR calls this particular Quran the “most respected English translation of the Quran” and has been giving it away since September of 2002, in its own library project called ‘Explore Islamic Culture & Civilization.’ This initiative was funded in part by a donation of $500,000 from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. This is the same individual that ex-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani rejected a $10 million donation for disaster relief from, after bin Talal suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11th attacks.
At a local press conference, CAIR-Florida Executive Director Altaf Ali said of the Quran giveaway and the circumstance that led to it, “We want to turn a negative image [of America] into a positive one.” Joe Kaufman, the Chairman of Americans Against Hate (AAH), reacted to this by stating, “Mr. Ali should worry less about America’s image and worry more about his group’s image, a group that has been cited for its connections to a terrorist organization and that gives out materials that preach hatred against others.”
So all of you who have been buying Korans since the Newsweek debacle–save your money. You can get one to suit your purposes for free.*

Hey Beth, remember my challenge to social conservatives that you commented on? Well I have a little bit of disturbing proof that little kids actually know that murder is wrong. Don’t read that story unless you have a strong stomach today. It’s about a 7 year old boy who beat his baby sister to death with his fists, feet and a 2×4. Goes back to my argument that even little kids know that murder is wrong.
Makrothumeo says:
I’m not quite sure why I keep reading this is the “Anti-Semitic” koran as though there is some “Pro-Semitic” koran out there somewhere…If CAIR thinks this is a great book to hand out, well, it’s just letting us see their true agenda…the arab world wants the Jewish state and the Jewish people eradicated. What is or is not in any commentary to the koran is hardly an issue…
Vilmar says:
I know this sounds like I am plugging my own blog (OK, I am!) but I posted about this today and asked the question: if, as we are told, handling the Koran is a process requiring ablutions, etc. and that our soldiers are being accused of heinous acts of desecration merely by touching it at Gitmo, how in the world can these people justify passing them out to the masses? Isn’t that sacriligious in itself?
OK, since you asked for it, here’s the link (hehehe):

I hope I can get my copy soon, too, as one can never have enough TP around the house.
BTW, great blog!

This blog IS a great blog…
In fact, when it comes to Islam, we are abrogating the model that has worked so well for us- the melting pot.
It seems that we are being forced into accomodations that are escalating- and we are being told- not asked- that we must accomodate Islam or be subject to retaliation.
Enough is enough. If CAIR wants to hand out hate versions of the Quran, it is time to call them on it- and call them away from the table as being moral equals.

Makrothumeo says:
Siggy, Carl, Al: You gotta be kidding…these guys behead innocent bystanders, riot and murder on the basis of rumor, blow themselves up on buses in Israel, and it takes CAIR handing out “nasty korans” to make you want to stop treating them as moral equals? We ought to be long past that point…

Michael says:
Does the free Quran have relatively small type? Like, a compact version? Like, suitable for packing so you could read it on trips? Like, flushable?
Beth says:
a compact version
NOW you’re talking! hahahaha
Hey Mak–nah, that’s not the point. People like to talk PC and pretend it’s the “religion of peace” and that 99.99% of Muslims oppose terrorism, but we know it’s bullshi’ite. It’s time to stop being all PC and start being HONEST. I know what SC&A is saying. ;-)
Hyscience says:
CAIR distributes Quran banned as anti-Semitic
Let this be a warning to libraries and communities throughout the U.S., that CAIR is at it again - apostatizing via any excuse they can dream up, and spreading more hate and violence in the process.
The Capitalist says:
Great!
Another nefarious plot by CAIR:
Two weeks from now, Newsweak will “break” the story of how the Koran/Quoran/Kotex is being mishandled by the UPS guy, and the streets of Kabul will wash with blood.
Will we never learn?

W says:
all those who r commenting on Islam, lemme ask u sumfing, hy dont u look at ur own culture and ur own religion and see the damage you have done. Now im not musilim, but wot is being is a load of crap,if your white, under ur extremely narrow minded rules, i have the right to call you a racist, because dat is wot white people have done so why dont i judge you under ur actions. If your christian, why dont i have the right to call you a member of the KKK, because the KKK were extremely devout chrisitans who protested that all their murders were in the name of Christ. And to dat idiot, Makrothumeo, if someone came into ur house and took over it, would u stand to defend it, i suppose you would, now look at the same situation with Israel, now if had the intelligence to read a newspaper or look over certain statistics, you would realise that the Israel have more forces that the people of palestine, and that there tactics are the way of getting rid of people who killed them and took over their homes in 1948, and referring to my early point, by wot u have said, i shuld have the right to kill every white protestant because im asian, because of what white protestants have done in the past, and if u just get off ur arse and find out about the religion and its leader before you comment on it like the stupid idiot you r, den u wuld realise 1 one of 2 things:
1) that u, wot ever race u r, someone of ur culture or relgion has commited a crime so under ur beliefs u r in da same predicament as every person wrongly accused because of their culture like the Irish
2) you have opened that tiny insignificant mind of urs and realised that the people who belong to the same culture as those who carry out evil action suffer more because of idiots like u accusing them of things they have never done just becos of their beliefs.
(P.S. pardon my shorthand, i am writing dis in a rush)
Housewife says:
LOLOLO Beth - someone is pulling a fast one over on you! LOLOLOL
Claire says:
dat ain’t ’shorthand’ W; dat be Ignoramus Talk. an you be racist religionist foo.
I don’t know what kind of ‘asian’ you are, but see Japan vs Korea, China vs China, Korea vs Korea, Pol Pot ….. Yep — ‘asians’ like you really got bragging rights over us dumb honkeys.
[what's 'asian' for "putz"]
W says:
1) Claire, you have no idea about me, you dont know my intelligence or who i ma ok
2)Ignoramus talk? look at u, u have the grammar skills of a kid in kindergarten and wot the hell is a honkey. I right quickly so i get my message across quicker
3)All the argumens between asians you have mentioned above are not racist arguments but argument between different ideas of how a countries economy is to be run between a communist and capitalist view. The only exception is Pol Pot who is the equivalent of an asian hitler, which gives u no right to accuse asians of massacres just like we or anyone else has no right to accuse scandinavian people of mass extermination. In the case of the Chinese Revolution, it was a civil war between nationalists and communist just like in the Spanish Civil War as well as the result of the Ribbentrop Molotov Pact of 1939, between Russia and Germany, communist and nationalist states. Race in all cases were small issues.
4) If you have bothered to read wot i have written and understand it with that extremely weak intelligence of urs you would understand i was trying to make the point dat no culture or relgion is an exception and dat every culture or relgion has bad people, you do not want to associate yourself with. No one has right over each other which is ironically, wot the Prophet of Islam said in his last speech
“No arab has superiority over a non arab, and non arab has superiority over an arab. No black person has superiority over a white person and no white person has superiority over a black person”
I am not prejudice against anyone at all, i believe all faiths and acts are allowed as long as they are peaceful as is Islam. YOU SHOULD GROW UP AND LEARN TO JUDGE EVERYONE AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND NOT AS A GROUP, FOR THAT IS THE TRUE RACISM AND YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN ANY OF THOSE TERRORISTS.

Take that, Hans Brix!
I’m so ronery.
Beth says:
Hey W, that’s the best “u” have?
“ur” drivel is so unreadable, why bother?
I’m not even bothering to delete your retarded comment because it’s so yourridiculous it almost warrants its own post! In fact, I invited a few people here just to gaze upon “wot” “ur” “argumens” say “becos” “u” “right” like “ur” in kindergarten.
For example:
“I am not prejudice” (sp)
contrasts nicely with your previous statement:
“i have the right to call you a racist, because dat is wot white people have done”
You lost me after the first few ill-formed sentences, SON. I’m not even going to bother with “da” nonsense of an immature ignoramus.
But keep talking; we’re enjoying the entertainment! Assmonkey.
SSJ says:
Beth you are just sooo wrong!! Why all the Islamophobia..why do you hate & fear something because you cant understand it?
I’m non-muslim but i have read the Glorious Quran and God’s words are beautiful! If there is anything immoral in there it is due to false translation and the relevant people will be punished.
Peace-out (or as i heard my muslim neighbour say islam-out)
W says:
I tell u wot, i dont give a crap wot u think beth. I am 15 yrs old and i write how i want, so bite me! Alos, i just cannot be bothered to comment on ur lack of intelligence to realise the point im putting forward, dat if u stupid idiots have the right to offend a relgion because of a few individuals who have no soul, then we should be allowed the same right, but that shouldn’t be the case.
Mahatma Ghandi said “An eye for an eye and soon the whole world shall be blind”
I am not racist, and god forbid a situation rises where payback has to be taken because of what a few individuals of your race or your culture has done wrong, is worth innocent people, who have done nothing wrong to anyone has to suffer.
But you know wot, because you r so ignorant and have no understanding of diversity and have limited knowledge on anything you decide to knock down, i dont care whether you take me off or not. You have no idea what it is like for innocent muslims at this time, or for other ethnic cultures who have suffered setbacks because of ignorant people like you, so i tell you if you own this website and you want to remove me, fine, let me tell you though, the last time i saw racism like this was when i was reading a history book about Nazi Germany and their anti semitic tactics. U really reduce yourself bu calling me an assmonkey, further proving u cant argue your case and dont call me son, becos i dont think ur from East London.

ur racist 2 muslims Beth. i think W has argued a good point
Ali Limbali says:
Haven’t you heard, goatfucker?
Allah is displeased with his disciples. Ever hear of the earthquake in Iran that killed 20,000? How many hundreds of thousands of the Faithful did he slaughter with the tsunami?
Seems Allah himself is Islamophobic.
Now pardon me, I have a Koran to shi’ite on.

Beth says:
Be advised, “ijustdontgivaphuk”:
I’ve contacted your ISP to alert them of your threats. Next will be the authorities.
I suggest you kids find something better to do with your time or your mommies will take away your computers while you are being investigated by the police. That includes you, “W”.
I don’t issue idle threats, either.
