Politicising the Quran

Have a look at [url= pic[/url].

This man is holding open the Quran at a Hamas rally celebrating the party's election victory.

This 'gesture' is made in an Al Qaeda video too. One person holds the Quran open and a few other people hold klashnikovs in front of the Quran.

Muslim Brotherhood members do this also.

Does anybody know whether they open up the Quran at a particular verse or do they just open it at any random page?

[b]EDIT: This was getting buried in the No Topic thread so I gave it a thread of it's own.[/b]

Normally the Quran is opened at a page referring to the martyrs, and generally at Surah Tawbah, according to my knowledge.

But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

(the 'beauty' of the kklashnikov is its so simple, that almost nothing jams/breaks it!)

The Holy Book happens to be a very political book.

Omrow

Naj posted a hadith a while ago which said a sign of the end of time was that the Qur'an will be seen as a formal book...

If we start to 'respect' the qur'an so much that we neglect to read it, is that not worse than using it as a show of force?
