To whom it may concern,
I received a Quran from your organization in the mail today. I just had to email the organization and say what an awesome idea this is. I am a devout Roman Catholic in college, but I have respect for all religions and I feel like the Muslim community particularly in the United State has not been portrayed fairly especially in the media. I plan on reading the Quran which you have sent becuase I am very much interested in what Islam teaches and I feel like being able to read this sacred text will allow people to overcome any lingering stereotypes, to bridge the gap of understanding, and most importantly to realize that we as Americans are wrongfully judging those of the Islamic faith based upon the actions of a few radicals and not on the wonderful, peaceful ideals the Quran and the faith teaches. May God bless you and find favor in your work as you try to enlighten those to the true meaning of the Islamic faith.
To whom this may concern, On Wednesday 3/4/09, I had received a Quran book at my doorstep. I have to say that I think this one of the most thoughtful and engaging ways to bridge the gap of understanding between Islam and other religions. I have studied the Middle East in college and have minor skills in the Arabic language. For those reasons, I have learned about the unfair bias bestowed upon the Muslim community since the tragic events of 9/11. It is not fair for the few wrongful acts of a few to be seen as a representative of the whole Muslim community. I have become very motivated to help people understand that Islam is not a religion that breads hate. I find it wonderful that your organization is doing the same. This is the 21st century and the old days of wars over religion are over. Understanding and accepting of each other is the norm in our times today and I commend this organization for helping this mission succeed. Thank you again for the wonderful gift. I will keep it forever.
The Holy Quran tells us: “O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.”
The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God’s vision. Now that must be our work here on Earth.

“I’d love to get one and make my own informed decision as to whether or not the religion is about peace or violence. I think this is a great idea.”

“Thanks for excellent reporting on an ambitious project by Muslims [regarding Chicago Tribune's report about our Quran distribution project]. Kudos to you and the Tribune for this breath of fresh air,”
