Koran "abuse"
Reader comment on item: Amazon.com's Koran Desecration Problem
Submitted by Lynn (United States), May 23, 2005 at 12:44
First and foremost, I find that too many Americans and American businesses are being held hostage by the 'racial' wolf crying politics used by the Islamists in this country.Secondly, I suspect this person did the marking in her (Koran) herself for publicity's sake. Americans need to wake up and realize these are a wiley, disreputable group that is determined to bring this country and the world back into '3rd world' status so that they can once again "rule". We have to all be willing to fight, and sacrifice some of our 'freedoms' to ensure that we have a country for our children and grandchildren. I've 'been there' and see too much-and I'm not the only one.
