A Message to the Librarian

This is a message that was sent to the librarian who trashed the Qura'n (refer to the previous blog)by a Muslim sister. His reply is right under her message. I think she sent an excellent message, I loved the way she made it seem like she just wanted to educate him and that she didn't need an apology from him. Read and give me your opinion....

Rawan

Mr. Greg Martinson,

I am contacting you in regards to Thursday's incident in which you trashed the holy book of Islam at Roseville Area High School. I am not seeking an apology. I would like to extend an opportunity to you to educate yourself about Islam by reading the Quran. By doing so will you understand that it does not encourage terrorism nor does it advocate violence.

Those who committ violent acts in the name of Islam are, like yourself,ignorant of the teachings of the Quran. If a drunk driver crashes his car into a tree, who do you blame..the car or the driver? In the same way, you cannot put blame on the Quran for the wrong actions of a minority of Muslims. Like Christian extremists, Muslim extremists are also a minority. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and 99.9% of them are peaceful,
moderate individuals.

Here are some random verses from the Quran:

"Do not forget to show kindness to each other. Surely God observes your actions." (2:237, Quran)

"Do not follow anyone blindly in those matters of which you have no knowledge, surely the use of your ears and eyes and heart - all of these,shall be questioned on the Day of Judgement." (17:36, Quran)

"O mankind! We created you from a male and female and made you into nation and tribes that you may know and honor each other (not that you should despise each other). Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most righteous." (Quran, 49: 13)

"Tell My servants that they should speak in the most kindly manner [to those who do not share their beliefs]: For Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men." (17:53, Quran)


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care.

Thank you for your message.  I intend to do just as you say.  You should also be aware that I my lecture was clearly about intellectual freedom and religious tolerance.  The book burning was to suggest was harmful about such acts.  When I discussed the Koran in front of the class it was clearly to state that I believe that we should be extremely cautious about turning our
war against terror into a war between religions, especially one which translates into peace in English.  Unfortunately, that message was drowned out by a single stupid metaphorical act tht I wish to apologize to all muslims for.  This will, of course, never happen again.  Finally, I do plan to educate my self further by reading your holy book.  Again, you have my sincerest and most heartfelt apology.

Hey Rawan...

Thanks for posting this stuff. Do you mind sending it to me by email? Thanks..

Also, your joke post isn't letting me publish a comment, so I'm going to post my comment to that post on here iA:

I have a couple for you ;)

A duck walks into a seafood restaurant and says to the waiter: "Do you have clam chowder?"
Waiter: "No, we don't." The duck leaves.

The next day, the duck walks into the restaurant and says again "Do you have clam chowder?"
Waiter: "No, we don't." The duck leaves.


The next day, the duck walks into the restaurant and says again "Do you have clam chowder?"
Waiter: "No, we don't. And if you come back here again and ask for clam chowder I'll nail your feet to the floor." The duck leaves.

The next day, the duck walks into the restaurant and says  "Do you have nails?"
Waiter: "No, we don't"
Duck: "Well then do you have clam chowder?

(ha ha ha ha ha ;))
