All's fair in love and war

The distribution of free copies of the Koran to government agencies is disturbing, but why not retaliate by distributing free copies of the Torah and Bible? Surely if this is a country of liberty, then that liberty should include and embrace the freedom of fairness in all things. It is when one belief or ideology is raised above another that the problems start. Our country is not a theocracy, but a place where one can worship freely or not at all. The idea behind the sending of free copies of the Koran is just another example of how Islam is pushing its way into our society, but the goal is total annihilation of any other belief, and that's where the danger lies.
