"... By quoting from the Quran in his Cairo address, President Obama generated renewed interest in what Islam's revealed text has to say on topics such as the sanctity of human life, justice and diversity,' said Awad.'This is not an effort to proselytize, but is instead intended to provide an educational resource for those who will shape the future direction of our nation.'"

(Apparently there is no separation of church and state in an Islamic theocracey.)

"Awad said the Qurans sponsored by Muslims and delivered to American leaders will include a bookmark guide to the verses cited by the president and to references related to topics such as women's rights, social justice, respect for other faiths, and similar issues related to international events."

I assume those would be the abrogated verses since none of them are practiced by Muslims.

You can bet they won't bookmark Sura 9 or related ahadith:

"the Messenger of Allah ... would say:'Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war.... When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action.... Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them.... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them ...'" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4294).

"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)... " (Qur’an 9:5).

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth,(even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).

"Allah's Apostle said:'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle ...'" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24).

"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise" (Qur'an 8:67).

"Allah’s Apostle said,'I have been made victorious with terror'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).

On the other hand, distributing the Quran amongst interested people is of course a terrorist act. No doubt about that...

I assume that you are not aware that CAIR has links to terrorism.

George Bush said "Islam is Peace"

Obviously George Bush was ONE BIG FAT MORON!!!!

--The idiot George Bush thought that if he removed the dictator Hussein, that muhammadans would somehow become enlightened citizens of the 21st Century, love one another, and respect human rights!!!

LOL!

Like I said, George Bush was an IDIOT!!!!!!

I'm sure GB, now realizes that muhammadans are jackals and you can't change a pig's ear into a silk purse.

Distributing the Koran will help more people open their eyes to THE EVIL muhammad and his partner alla-cadabra.

Flip open randomly to any page and what do you see?

Where is your anger coming from? Did someone hurt you personally? If you think that TV shows the real image of Islam, then i have to wake you up right now: it doesn't.

Still lying, Alen?

You must know that the chronologically-disjointed statements in Qur'an are devoid of historical context, so how can anyone "Show ... the exact verses in full context"?

Of course, you can just read Sura 9, the last full "revelation" given to Muhammad. There you'll find commands to "slay the idolaters wherever you find them" and to "Fight ... against the People of the Book until they feel themselves subdued and pay the jizya." You'll also find Allah's promise of Paradise -- with its perpetual virgins and boys like "pearls" -- to those who "slay and are slain" for Allah (verses 5, 29, and 111 for the curious).

No "hatred, ciolence, intolerance" there at all!

To fully understand a particular Qur'anic passage, you need ahadith and sira, the sayings and life of Muhammad.

Here's a little of what they state, along with Qur'an:

"the Messenger of Allah ... would say:'Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war.... When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action.... Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them.... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them ...'" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4294).

"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)... " (Qur’an 9:5).

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth,(even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).

"Allah's Apostle said:'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle ...'" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24).

"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise" (Qur'an 8:67).

"Allah’s Apostle said,'I have been made victorious with terror'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).

Sura 9, the last full "revelation" on jihad.

Sura 110 is alleged to be the last.
