On the premise that nothing makes a better gift than a good book, a Muslim civil liberties group is launching a campaign to hand out 100,000 free copies of an expensive Arabic-English copy of the Qur'an to elected officials and influential policy makers.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is planning to announce their campaign at a press conference Tuesday.
