Worldwide Quran News Coverage Surprises Some

From The Tulsa World ~ Marjan Seirafi-Pour and state Rep. Rex Duncan can agree on one thing. Both were astounded by the state, national and international attention given to the lawmaker's refusal nearly two weeks ago to accept a centennial copy of the Quran, the holy book of the Islamic faith. The Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council, whose members are Muslim, offered copies of the Quran to 149 state lawmakers, and 35 declined, said Seriafi-Pour, a Norman resident and the council's chairwoman. Most of those who declined, including Duncan, are Republicans. Read all of Mick Hinton's story at www.tulsaworld.com.
