If only the folks in Kashmir knew about the Hindu Koran
From the Best Things Never Published files: a gem from a recent interview in which a guy with a doctorate in religion was explaining why the Bible should be taught in public schools:
Druz: So, what about children of other faiths?
Bible Guy: That's a good question. You know, many religions are based on the Bible. Protestantism, Mormonism, Judaism, Catholicism, Baptist.
Druz: Right, but that's just Christianity and Judaism, what about children who practice other religions.
BG: OK, throw one out there.
Druz: What about a Hindu student?
BG: Well, actually, the Koran is also based on the Bible.
