Muslim group offers free copies of the Quran

BY JAMES D. DAVIS
South Florida Sun-Sentinel

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - (KRT) - An American Muslim organization, reacting to controversy generated by the alleged desecration of the Quran, has offered to give a free copy of the holy book to any American.

The giveaway, which, depending on demand, could go as high as 100,000 copies, comes after a recent Newsweek article alleging that the text was flushed down a toilet, said leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"We want to turn a negative image into a positive one," said Altaf Ali, the council's Florida director, at a press conference on Wednesday at the Nur-ul-Islam mosque in Cooper City, Fla. "America's image is taking a beating, and it's affecting us all, of different faiths."

Those who call the council's national toll-free line, 1-800-78-ISLAM, can get a free copy of the holy book, Ali said. Local Muslim communities around the country will be asked to underwrite the campaign.
