An article on, and I quote, "Conservative students, liberal profs".

Here's what I don't get.

At the University of North Carolina, three incoming freshmen sue over a reading assignment they say offends their Christian beliefs.

Now they sued b/c the University asked them to read the Qu'ran. Or Koran. Whatever.

Points follows thusly. First, the bad reason why this is bad. If we start taking things off of reading lists because we disagree with them . . . there would be no reading lists anymore. I mean, seriously, the first thing to go at any Uni worth it's salt would be the Bible, let's be honest here.

Secondly. Is thusly a word, or did I just make that up?

Thirdly. There's nothing in the Qu'ran that should frighten anyone, or at least any Christian. It's just the religious text of a different religion. A heresy, I would argue with Belloc, but the point remains. It should be no more offensive then reading "The Way of Change" for Chinese Civ. Open your mind. Read. Then you can engage and evangelize. If you're stuck in this us v. them mentality, you won't get anywhere. These people are not, NOT, your enemies. They're your friends. Read:

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Eph 6:12
