#2 "Explore the life of the Prophet Muhammad,"

Child rapist, mass murderer, common thief. There you go, it's all you need to know about Allah's lap dog.

"People think we don't believe in the same God, that we're a tribal, desert cult," Hossain said.

LOL! No shit you moon god worshipping Kaaba stone kissing fruit cake! History's a bitch.

#3 they'd get way more support if the frikkin billboard said "we abhor the atrocities performed in our name." It would be even better if they condemned al qaeda, bin laden, suicide bombing, etc.

but no. I guess they don't think that's the way to change our perceptions.

I'm not sure what they're expecting to make happen from this. it's downright condescending.

#4 A couple of years ago, CAIR launched a huge "free Koran" campaign. I wanted to see which version they were sending out, so I requested one. Turns out it was the "Now! With 20% Extra Antisemitism!" version by Muhammad Asad -- formerly Leopold Weiss, a Polish Jew. They had to pick that one.

It was also huge, glossy, and clearly expensive, and they were requesting donations from the ummah to pay for them all, which gave me an idea. I asked Mr. exJAG to get the word out, so practically half of 10th Mtn Div ordered one, to deplete their resources. A few were squrimy about giving their address to CAIR, but c'mon, what are they gonna do.

So, I'd actually encourage everyone you know to order free stuff. Never hurts to see what the enemy's saying, it's good for target practice, and above all, each one in our hands takes a bite out of their da'wa campaign.

#5 But exJag, are the pages strong yet soft?

Otherwise we may as well stay with the Charmin.

#6 "Even a smile is charity. A message from your Muslim neighbor," with smiling Muslims in the background.

Why are they smiling? Have they just got word about the follow-up to 9/11?

#7 I remember seeing another such billboard, I think along I-95 in Deleware.

#8 "People think we don't believe in the same God, that we're a tribal, desert cult."

Can't imagine why.

It's still on offer. But you have to pay $7.65 for shipping. Which is still not a bad deal for a hard cover job. They claim it retails for over $50.

#11 Please don't link to the free Koran website via Rantburg, though. They'll figure out that we're messing with them.

#13 Yep, CAIR's Koran goes for $55 ($39.60 at Amazon). It's three inches thick, the size of a physics textbook, and weighs as much too. I don't know about strong but soft, but it sure is a handsome pedestal for my stuffed pig named Otto.

#16 Any Floridians in the audience? Could you please get 5 gallons of gas and take care of this small, obnoxious problem ?
