<DIV>Yeah, if just any copy of the Koran is that sacred and absolute, all
people in the US and Israel would have to do to protect themselves
against terrorist bombings would be to put copies of the Koran in planes,
buildings, and on busses. Of course this assumes that terrorism is
an islamic religious phenomenon, which despite the claims of its
practitioners, it isn't. <BR><BR>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Which reminds me of something
someone posted in a NG to illustrate what morons Moslems were.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>The poster was laughing at their
assertion that the 'final days' will be known to the faithful by several
signs. A couple of which is that pots and pans, and even bootlaces, will begin
to talk.</FONT></DIV>

forum, but I did point out the irony involved in such
ignorance.</FONT></DIV>
