Judge says the Carolina kids [b]WILL[/b] have to read the Quran crap...


By ESTES THOMPSON

GREENSBORO, N.C.- A federal judge on Thursday refused to block a summer reading program for incoming freshmen at the University of North Carolina who were told to read a book on the Quran, Islam's holy text.

U.S. District Judge Carlton Tilley rejected a request for a temporary restraining order from two taxpayers - one an official of the conservative Family Policy Network - and three unidentified freshmen.

The plaintiffs sued last month, seeking to overturn an assignment that 4,200 transfer students and freshmen at the Chapel Hill campus read and discuss "Approaching the Qur'an: The Early Revelations" by Michael Sells.

School officials said they assigned the book to help students understand Islam after the Sept. 11 attacks. The 19 hijackers, all Middle Eastern men, have been identified as followers of a radical brand of Islam.

The ruling means discussion groups scheduled for Monday can continue, unless the plaintiffs succeed with an appeal immediately filed in federal court.

What a freakin' night,
