I dont think you could. I thought that you cannot hold the Koran with your hands.

I wouldn't feel frightened or concerned because as a Muslim, one SHOULD read the Quran every day. If what you are trying to imply is that the Quran is read before some high-jack or attack then you're far off. Do not get upset. This also applies to the prayer. ( I don't want to give you more than what you asked for but I just couldn't pass the opportunity.):) Muslims are to pray 5 times a day everyday. So when you see a Muslim reading Quran or praying before boarding or while on a plane, do not feel afraid. They're only fulfilling their duty. I wish that many more people would understand that Islam means "peace." So if there really are "Muslim terrorist" then they are not practicing their Islam.

even though it's not right, and I'm not racist, I would be a little concerned. We haven't had any bible thumpers try to crash planes lately that I can recall. I wouldn't freak out or anything, though, just keep an eye out is all. Would you?
ADDED:
It not racial profiling, by the way, It's the reality of our society these days, you have to keep an eye open and worry a little. It's not just muslim or minorities. Around here if I see a skeevy white guy with no teeth buying antifreeze, I worry that he has a meth lab in his car. Its called being cautious people.

You have a wrong misconception about a Muslim person and that makes u an ignorant. Just because a group of radical muslims use terror tactics, it doesnt mean that all muslims are terrorists. That person has the right to exercise his religion as stated in the first amendment. Im not a muslim but cmon dude. Why would you feel that way.

Absolutely not...Holy Quran is a book of guidance, the perfect law, the truth, a book of peace. It is the word of God and anyone "believing" in it can never be harmful. So why do u have to feel frightened....that's so looserish!!

No. What's to be frightened and concerned about a person who's comfortable with his beliefs.
Guess what, I have Muslim friends who wouldn't even dare try to apply a visa to come to the US because they're afraid to be judged because of their religion. They feel insecure of the wrong that was done by stupid people who claimed to have done those for God or Allah. and they feel prejudiced of the opinions of idiotic poeple who believed those stupid people and judged all Muslims in general.

No...to feel threatened by someone studying their religion is Anti-American...we forget that we do have freedom of religion in this country, and if someone were to say something about that person, I would have to stand up for their right to read their Koran, as I would be expected to be able to read my Bible. I don't worry about IRA agents when I see someone reading the Bible, or any of the other extremeists.

This is indeed Islamophobia. Let him read what he likes. It is his right.Nnot all Muslims are bad. It is only a microscopic minority that are driven to wrong ways. That also because of poverty and illiteracy, these young men are brainwashed and they go astray in killing themselvesalong with others. By causing such aspersions we are not helping to solve the problem. We are only making it worse by causing more division. Let us refrain from such thoughts.

of course not
Of the over 1 billion Muslims in the world, only a very tiny percent want to hurt anyone.
Those who think otherwise are sub-human.

No, thats just as bad as saying if a black guy walked into a seven eleven you would be scared. Racial profiling comes much too easy to many people.
