Glad that the "Reverend" decided not to have his "Burn-A-Quran Day", but if anybody else ever tried to follow in his footsteps I think declaring the same day to be "Read-A-Quran Day" would be a great counterprotest.<br /><br />One of the few reports I specifically recall doing from my school years was one on the Quran (it was for Social Studies & we had to pick one of the books of the major world religions to learn about & that's the one I picked).
