Politicising the Quran

Beast —

Have a look at [url=http://us.news3.yimg.com/us.i2.yimg.com/p/rids/20060126/i/r1190056417.j… 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.

The Holy Book happens to be a very political book.

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?
