I got my free Koran the other day and it is .....
.... quite impressive.After the newsweak article on Koran flushing, I got to thinking (as many others did too), how can you flush a book down a toilet? I have one of those, ahem, larger thrones myself and I couldn't fathom how any book could be flushed down unless it went through a paper shredder. I thought even a small bible could never be flushed, but I wasn't sure how physically large a Koran was and decided to find out. I got the Koran completely free of charge when I went to the CAIR website, accepted their offer to educate me and provided my home address. My-oh-my. The book itself is absolutely first-class and large. Everything (paper, printing, cover, etc.) used in it is excellent quality. It is very well formatted and documented. CAIR obviously hired a expensive and professional publishing firm to create and print it. In the store, a book like this would be at least $100. I thought everyone needs one of these and suggest anyone who is willing to provide their address to CAIR get one. I have been looking it over, but specifically have been looking into one event: The "Night Journey". This is when Mo went to Heaven on a winged horse, supposedly from Jerusalem. When I read the chapter however, Jerusalem was in brackets [Jersalem] which would normally indicate a substitution. But for what? Now, here is what I want to see if an RBer knows: I understand that this 'night journey actually happens at the furthest mosque. When Mo was alive, there were no mosques in Jerusalem and the 'furthest mosque' would have been in Madinah. Correct? Anyone have any comments on this? Posted by: Brett 2006-01-10 |
