I read the following story on the Fox News website a couple of weeks ago: 'Residents Angered by Group's Distribution of Korans'. The gist is that some group called the Book of Signs Foundation left free Korans in plastic bags on the door knobs of about 30,000 households in Houston.
First, let me tell you what makes me angry. It's when I find worthless crap hanging on my door knob, or worse, taped to my door. Cards for painters (ironic, since their card will peel paint off my door), landscapers, maid services, coupons, restaurant menus, and so on. Given all that crap, I think it would be a nice change of pace to come home to find some religion's holy book, no matter what I thought about them.
These folks in Houston were primarily angry because they felt they were being proselytized. I feel like this is the best kind of proselytizing. Why? You never have to see someone. The worse part about door-to-door missionary work is talking to people. This method is genius! You get in a hard day of proselytizing, cover a lot of ground, and can listen to your iPod while doing it. At least that's my idea of missionary work.
So I figured if this Book of Signs Foundation was handing out free Korans, why not give one to me? I went to their web site to see how this would work. Good news: they're giving out free Korans. They'll even send you one. If you cover the $4.95 shipping charges. So, it's free-ish.
Maybe I should call and ask for a free one. I mean, if they can give 30,000 people in Houston free Korans, surely they can send one to a guy who'd appreciate it.
Where's my free Koran, Book of Signs Foundation?

What, no category for Islam? Why you gotta be hatin'?
Not only do I need to make the category for Islam, I need to categorize my last few posts... I'm not in the categorizing habit, apparently.
