Svaka minuta narucen besplatan primjerak Kur'ana u USA,
iz Mekke.
BBC: US citizens snap up free Korans
The Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) said it had received over 5,000 requests for free copies over the last two weeks. One copy was being requested almost every minute http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4613889.stm
Ako je tko mislio da je Nobelova nagrada vrhunac književne karijere, nema pojma. Jedna je TV-voditeljica u 24 sata prodala milijun i pol primjeraka romana američkog nobelovca.
Superpopularna voditeljica talkshowa Oprah Winfrey lansirala je proteklog vikenda na top-listu bestselera jednog nobelovca. I to ne bilo kojega. William Faulkner možda se vrti u grobu, ali proživljava i novu mladost zahvaljujući utjecaju koji na američke i ine kućanice ima jedno od najbogatijih TV-lica. Oprah je još jednom dokazala da je njen 'Književni klub' nevjerojatan motor za prodaju knjiga.
Dvadeset i četiri sata nakon što je slavna Afroamerikanka objavila da za 'ljetno štivo' treba odabrati komplet tri Faulkerova romana - Dok ležah na samrti, Krik i bijes i Svjetlost u kolovozu - taj je komplet došao na drugo mjesto najprodavanijih na Amazon.comu.
Ispred dojučer zaboravljenog nobelovca našla se samo J. K. Rowling sa svojim novim Harryjem Potterom, koji će se na policama knjižara pojaviti u srpnju.
Istina je da je nakon 09/11 naglo porasla zainteresovanost za Islam (samim tim i za Kuran) u USA. Ljudi su pokusavali skontat da li je Islam stvarno terror religion ili ne (kako su neki tvrdili). ne znam kolika je citanost Kurana (ili Biblije) u USA al je sigurno (za obje) ispod dr. philla i ostalih komercijalista.

Interesovanje o Islamu sirom zapada je vec odavno zapazeno....
Over 14,000 Britons have embraced Islam, according to the UK's Sunday Times. Citing the first authoritative study of the phenomenon, the paper said that they had done so because of disillusionment with Western values. Some of Britain's top landowners, celebrities and the offspring of senior Establishment figures have embraced Islam.
The trend is being encouraged by Muslim leaders who are convinced that the conversion of prominent figures will help protect a community stigmatized by terrorism and fundamentalism.
Zaki Badawi, chairman of the Imams and Mosques Council, said: "The community has been unfairly targeted and these developments encourage it in a time of difficulty."
Meanwhile, the Muslim Council of Britain has co-opted Joe Ahmed-Dobson, son of Frank Dobson, the former Labor health secretary, to chair its regeneration committee.
The study by Yahya (formerly Jonathan) Birt, son of Lord Birt, former director-general of the BBC, provides the first reliable data on the sensitive subject of the movement of Christians into Islam. He uses a breakdown of the latest census figures to conclude that there are now 14,200 white converts in Britain.
Speaking publicly for the first time about his faith, Birt, whose doctorate at Oxford University is on young British Muslims, argued that an inspirational figure, similar to the American convert Malcolm X for Afro-Caribbeans, would first have to emerge if the next stage, a mass conversion among white Britons, were to happen.
"You need great transitional figures to translate something alien (like Islam) into the vernacular," he said. "The image of Islam projected by political Islamic movements is not very attractive."
Initially, Birt said, he had no coherent reasons for converting, but: "In the longer term, I think it was the overall profundity, balance, coherence and spirituality of the Muslim way of life which convinced me."
The faith has made inroads into the Establishment. It emerged this weekend that the great-granddaughter of a British prime minister has converted. Emma Clark, whose ancestor, the Liberal Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, took Britain into the First World War, said: "We're all the rage; I hope it's not a passing fashion."
Clark, who helped design an Islamic garden for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove, his Gloucestershire home, is now helping create a similar garden for a mosque in Woking, Surrey, on the site of a car park.
Many converts have been inspired by the writings of Charles Le Gai Eaton, a former Foreign Office diplomat. Eaton, author of 'Islam and the klix of Man,' said: "I have received letters from people who are put off by the wishy-washy standards of contemporary Christianity and they are looking for a religion which does not compromise too much with the modern world."
Others have come to Islam through love or marriage. Kristiane Backer, a former friend of the cricketer Imran Khan, said she was introduced to the religion by him. She had shrunk from speaking publicly about Islam before because of fears it might affect her work prospects.
Some prominent converts are even more wary. The Earl of Yarborough, 40, who owns a 28,000-acre estate in Lincolnshire, declined to discuss anything about his faith. "I have nothing to say to you," said Yarborough, who has apparently taken the name Abdul Mateen.
Muslim leaders are harnessing modern campaigning methods to promote their faith. Groups have sprung up on the Internet publishing "trophy lists" of white converts. The state-funded school in London established by Yusuf Islam, formerly the singer Cat Stevens, has turned to Premiership footballers to provide role models. Sources close to the school say converts including Nicolas Anelka, the Manchester City striker, and Omer "Freddie" Kanoute, of Tottenham Hotspur, have made visits.
Fresh evidence came this weekend that Islam has received formal acceptance at the heart of the Establishment. The Queen has approved arrangements to allow Muslim staff at Buckingham Palace time off to attend Friday prayers at a mosque: a member of staff in the finance department is the first to take advantage of it.

Nije cudno sto je najcitanija "besplatna" knjiga.
I meni su nudili bibliju dzabe oni jehovini svjedoci ko mahniti presrecu ljude na ulici i nude im one glupe brosure kur'an je ozbiljna knjiga i svaki normalan covjek ga je procitao ne vidim u tome nista lose samo oni koji ne znaju o drugima nista mogu da valjaju gluposti kao ti.

...ne mogu se sastaviti dvije recenice a da se ne skoci u vlastiti stomak...
Preporucim i ostale da procitaju Kur'an
To je savrsena knjiga,
Bozija knjiga, u tome cete se sami uvijeriti,
ako je cijelu procitate.
antekalas, svaka cast dobro kazes
Ima ljudi koji iz zavisti nemogu vidijeti da se veliki broj interesira za Boziju poruku, a da nemaju pojma o cemu se radi.
Ja i sam neznam koliko su se ljudi vratili Islamu u ovih zadnjih par sedmica,
vijerujte mi da ih je bilo preko 10 ljudi, i to iz USA i iz Canade,
ja govorim samo ono sta sam ja licno vidio.

Nije sve u PROcitati svete knjige.

antekalas--kao obicno--ne zna da li dolazi ili odlazi.
Kada smo kod savrsenih knjiga, jesi li ti PROcitao cijelu Bibliju ili nemas namjeru?
Ja i sam neznam koliko su se ljudi vratili Islamu u ovih zadnjih par sedmica, vijerujte mi da ih je bilo preko 10 ljudi, i to iz USA i iz Canade, ja govorim samo ono sta sam ja licno vidio.
Idu mi na zivce oni koji se bune kada neko od Amerikanaca nesto uradi Kuranu. Sto se ne bune kada se neko u Iraku slupa sa kolima u dzamiju, napravi eksploziju i samim tim dovede u mogucnost da se zapali barem jedan list Kurana.

Eeeee, ali ti su "nasi" i oni vjerovatno imaju "opravdane razloge" da pobiju zene i djecu ili vjernike za vrijeme molitve. A ako ih saceras u cosak trazeci objasnjenje, nacice neku nebulozu u Kur'anu koju su oni interpretirali kao "odobrenje" od alaha.
To je slicno onome u futbalu gdje se pljuje na protivnickog igraca koji je napravio faul, ali se pljesce ljubimcu koji je drugom slomio nogu.

Ne bune se, nego prave manifestacije. Pa ih ljutnja ponese i rezultat - 14 poginulih i oko stotinu ranjenih Afganistanaca.
vjerovatno je za tebe protest i reakcija na bacanje Kur`ana u WC tek manifestacija
za milione je to uvrijeda vrijedna i vlastitog zivota
prema tome...perspektive su sasvim razlicite ali bi makar respekt prema svetoj knjizi komsija trebao biti malo veci
14 zivota je otislo jer je to odgovaralo i dan danas odgovara onima koji su i poceli tako tretirati Kur`an (baba nauci makar napisati Kur`an velikim pocetnim... )
satraše se
