Italy: Fashion Designer Gives Koran To Employees
A story from AKI relates that Brunello Cucinelli, a fashion designer and businessman, has joined the legion of "useful idiots" promoting Islam.
Cucinelli (pictured) makes attractive women's clothing from cashmere for which he has gained fame and fortune. When he visited Milan today, he said: "Muslims are our neighbours and in order to learn how to live together with them we must get to know their religion."
To help his 400 employees to 'get to know" Islam, Cucinelli has given each of them their own copy of the Koran in Italian.
A Catholic, Cucinelli was quoted in Italian newspapers today as saying "integration comes from knowledge as well as dialogue and reading the Koran can only benefit us. Arab culture has given us top architects, doctors, thinkers and philosophers: Why don't we learn something from them?"
And let us hope his employees read all the verses included in Suras 1 to 9, with the exhortations to "fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment," (4: 84), or to "slay the unbelievers wherever you find them" (2: 191). or the advice in 3:28: "Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah."
And assuming some of his employees are going to be married women, one hopes they truly understand the "friendly" advice given in Sura 4: 34 - "Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme."

It seems that he can't have studied the Koran much himself.
I don't think it is such a bad idea for people to read muslim scriptures, as long as they are not the special toned - down versions...
