About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 27. Chapters: Qur'an oath controversy of the 110th United States Congress, Regensburg lecture, DePauw University Delta Zeta discrimination controversy, Jamil Hussein controversy, International Holocaust Cartoon Competition, Iran newspaper cockroach cartoon controversy, AOL search data scandal, Rakyat Merdeka dingo cartoon controversy.

In response to a wave of criticism, Prager released another column on the topic on December 5, 2006 entitled "A response to my many critics - and a solution." The controversy became more heated when Rep. Virgil Goode (R - VA) issued a letter to his constituents stating his view that Ellison's decision to use the Qur'an is a threat to "the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America... if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran." The entering of Goode into the controversy caused many other members of Congress to weigh in...
