I have a little paperback Koran in my apartment somewhere. I almost never read it though. I keep it just in case I need it as a reference.

Read it, or if you don’t want to, give it to someone who wants it or knows how to dispose of it properly. Do you think it would be proper if someone binned a copy of the New Testament?What should I do with it… Would it be a sin if I threw it out?

What would the imam have done to you if you had said no?In my first year of university, I took a World religions course and I had to visit 2 relgious places of which werent my own (hinduism and islam) and a mosque was one of them. The imam (or whatever you call them) gave me a Koran… I couldnt say no because there were like 5 of them and I didnt want to get my head chopped off by refusing to accept. Quiet scary actually because they were pretty authorative.

The point of taking such a course is to learn about religions you might not otherwise study, especially if you start the course with prejudiced or misinformed views, not to voice your approval of one religion over another.OMG well that certainly explains how you got it. Did that class force you to choose Hinduism and Islam? Bc I would not have gone into a mosque (I’ve got no real beef with Hinduism… pardon the pun). If I ever took a class like that I’d go to a Jewish Temple and a Mormon Temple. One out of affinity/ respect, the other to make a statement about how they’re a non-Christian religion.

I wouldn’t care what anybody does to a copy of the New Testament. It’s ink and paper, and another copy can be made in a fraction of a second.Read it, or if you don’t want to, give it to someone who wants it or knows how to dispose of it properly. Do you think it would be proper if someone binned a copy of the New Testament?

I am a Muslim coming to the Catholic Church. I must say that it was not a Christian person that lead me to this point, but rather God Almighty touching my heart. One need only read some of the comments to see that point. It is a book and nothing more. If you don’t want it then donate it to a used book store. It’s a no brainer. If you want to read it or keep it for reference then do so. Why is this such a bone of contention? Before I began to read the Bible , I never would have dreamt to throw it out or disrespect it in any form or fashion. Although I did not draw my faith from the Bible I RESPECTED that others did. Respect for others did not require me to believe as they do.Lol… but wouldnt that lead others away from Christ?

Keep it and read it; no harm. Else give it to someone who wants itWhat should I do with it…
Certainly. Insulting the beliefs of others is sin. You cannot equate unwanted books and unwanted “holy books”. Each of will be judged by the way we treat others.Would it be a sin if I threw it out?
Do to others as you would have them do to you (Luke 6:31)

As would I. In fact, it’s amazing how the Qur’an and Islam can challenge us to be better Christians if you just open your heart.I’d read it for general knowledge about Islam.
The 1970s movie “The Messenger” about the life of the Prophet Muhammed (pbh) really opened my eyes about the cultural and political realities facing the apostles at Pentecost.
