we studied it in college, had a good english version also. it was a class on eastern thought in sociology. had to write a 50 page paper on it comparing it to the Boshido way of life in japan. we also did the bible in western thought class. the quran was an eye opener, but no one turned into jihadies. i can see how it can.... the word of a religious book can turn people into a zelot of any kind. i have known muslims in my life... none were practicing at the time, just parting their brains out.

A contentious “Rightwing Extremism” report that warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the United States was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers. “The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed,” Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee. The report was shared with state and local law enforcement officials nationwide via the department’s internal Web site on April 7, angering Republican lawmakers and military veterans who said it unfairly stereotyped veterans.
