RE: CITR and the Koran

The point is, there should not be any discouraging OR encouraging of a
religion going on. UNC states that they are neutral and are not promoting
ideas yet they are introducing a very biased interpretation of the religion.

Well, wouldn't any book be biased? You're either going to have a very
positive view of the Koran or a negative view of the Koran. At least they
chose the book that shows the Koran in a positive light, opposed to a book
that makes it out to be some terrible book in some terrible religion, and
therefore possibly brewing more anti-Islamic feelings.
