I don't see the problem

Religious organizations hand out copies of their sacred texts.

We have all encountered Mormons, Harei Krishna, Gideons, or other groups handing out their sacred books freely (at your door, at airports, hotel rooms etc)

How is this action any different?

I'm not sure how many of the 100,000 people being sent a Koran will take the time to read it, but if a few of them keep it on their shelf together with a Book of Mormon, New Testament, or other religious tracts, how is this a problem.
