I did some searching, and this goes back at least five years, to Leicester, England. When learning that Muslims wanted the Koran put on the top shelf, librarians consulted experts and were advised to put all religious books on the top shelf. Some complained that this might make those books inaccessible to all, or that it might seem like they were on display, rather than being made available for reading.

It shouldn't maker what type of book it is you shouldn't need to rearrange the library for one book that's socialism at its finest

If visitors to Muslim countries have to follow those customs, then Muslims should follow the customs of whatever country they are in. That doesn't mean they have to change what they eat, etc. but I don't think whole areas of a library should have been moved to accommodate one book. It should be filed according to the Dewey System, just like any other book.

This has nothing to do with any political party. The Koran should have been filed according to the Dewey System. No religious book, even the Bible, should have priority over another religious book. It's by the numbers.

Oooh, BVM, I'll bet he just feels terrible because you capitalized the rat in democrat. What a wicked, insightful put down. Do these insults come naturally to you, or do you have to spend time thinking them up? I'm sure everyone on this forum wishes they had the keen intellect you must possess to be able to be this witty. We are all just grateful that you share your deep thinking with all of us.

Isn't nice to be an atheist? We don't feel the compulsion to fight over which of your gods is better....

That's not a true statement. Allah and the Christian God are not the same.

Allah means God in the Islamic language and is the same they just don't believe in the Messiah being Jesus they believe that Muhammed is the Messiah.

We definitely do not pray to the same God.

I did not put the RAT in democRATs, but it does such a good job of depicting the philosophy of the party.

Your group has enslaved minorities in your cities slums.

Your denial of fact and truth and duplicity are world renown.
You cannot be trusted, with you it's either your way or no way. Typical spoiled, greedy brats.

Big difference, though. Neither Jews nor Christians have a fundamental belief that we must kill, conquer, enslave practioners of other beliefs. But that is a basic tenet of Islam and repeatedly emphasized in the Koran and other Islamic "holy" books.
