AFGHANISTAN: So, how much did the world’s largest quran cost the American taxpayers?
Posted: January 14, 2012 Filed under: Say WHAT? 83 Comments »The completion of the world’s largest Quran was hailed as a major achievement for Afghanistan when it was officially unveiled in the nation’s capital.
WORLD’S BIGGEST QURAN: VITAL STATISTICS
Length: 7ft (228cm)
Width (pages open): 10ft (310cm)
Pages: 218
Time to completion: 5 years
Calligraphy designs: 30
UK DAILY MAIL Measuring more than 7ft long and 10ft wide, the text’s 218 pages are decorated in 30 different calligraphy designs and took almost five years to finish.
Its inauguration ceremony was held yesterday in front of key religious figures, clerics, scholars and government officials to coincide with the opening of Hakim Nasir Khusraw Balkhi Cultural Center and arts exhibition in Kabul.
The project was inspired and sponsored by His Excellency Alhaj Syed Mansoor Naderi, a well-known religious personality and leader of the Shia Ismailies in Afghanistan, it was reported on Khaama Press.
Calligrapher Mohammad Saber Yaqoti Hussaini Khedri and his students started the composition in September 2004, which involved at least two years of continuous work for the shafting and archiving. All the 30 parts of Quran have been done in 30 different designs. It was finally completed in September 2009.
Speaking at yesterday’s ceremony, Mansoor Naderi described the completion of the book as a major achievement for the Afghan nation and all Muslims around the world, according to Khaama Press.
Those behind the project were then handed Appreciation Letters by Afghan Senate House speaker Fazal Hadi Muslimyar.
The quran is the central religious text of Islam and is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad.Muslims believe it was periodically revealed to Muhammad over the 23 years before his death at the age of 40 in 632AD.
It is divided into 114 suras which are classified either as Meccan or Medinan depending upon their place and time of revelation.
Who on earth would want a bigger version of that shit?
Man,what a waste of good paper
Not a single woman in sight. That’s single or married woman in sight.
Try getting that engraved on the “head” of a pin.
Moe was 62 when he went to Hell. He was past 50 when he married his six year old child bride.
A giant Koran…..AYFKM????
No marvel of engineering, no cure for a horrific disease, no construction of a hospital, no marvel of physics, biology, medicine, law…..nothing at all…..
Just the creation of a Godzilla sized “How To Guide” for mass murderers and pedophiles…
Oh lovely….what a wonderful nights sleep I’ll get tonight knowing that little novel is floating around out there inspiring every whack-job from Kabul to Kansas….

Don, how about spending that money on schools for girls and making sure the Taliban doesn’t bomb them?
Yes Bonni……that and so very much more..

We are building them schools…we joke that they are future taliban traing centers…I see the starving people everyday and it drives me crazy to see crap like this. 10 to 1 we taxpayers payed for it!
Dear!
You are wrong, this is the Americans who bomb and kill innocents. The Taliban has still not got the bombs from US.
Parasites.
They survive on western money, science technology and worship their f**king Koran.
Hell to muzzies.
AYFKM I love it, I would love to burn that pile of you know what. I was just thinking about this the other day. Now at least they can be known for something, what I don’t know. One thing I like about it is that I still can’t read it with all those chicken scratches on it. Peace to all non-muslim
Hmmmmm I wonder what would happen if I quaffed a case of lager, hauled out my Johnson and hosed that baby down?…..a few fireworks yuh think???

Innocent Christians would be hacked to death in Nigeria and Indonesia.

What a great bonfire we could have with a weiner roast and marshmellows! Oh yeah!!
Don,
You are so funny.
That is not the end of the line. They even sponsor Terrorism and Jihad in India, by taking money from US. Thanks to that senator, may God Bless him, for stopping that flow of dollars to pakistan.
Haha,idolatry much?
“The quran is the central religious text of Islam and is a record of the exact words revealed by God ”
Just ignore the 9 revisions,27 diverse translations,the notes written on bark,leaves and scraps of cloth they collected for 90 yrs as recordings of g-d’s actual random words and the fact the quran is an unorganized ,illogical,undated,factless tome that is a collection of recorded crimes against humanity and it might believable ,if you are under the age of 12,mentally ill or inclined to violence.
Even if it were the size of the largest cruise ship it would not help elevate it out of it’s evil doctrine of hate, racial contempt, rape of women and children, and slavery, in the name of it’s moon G_d. Its the reason for the world’s history being high jacked and re-written for the consumption of the Islamic worlds ignorant people caused by it’s Islamic inbreed ethnic groups.
Yeah I’m impressed now-NOT. As if they have nothing better to do than show case their manual for hate before the world, as if we do not already understand the hate enough, they brazenly show us once again why it is they cannot govern themselves in a civilized 21st Century, they have more concern of their war manual than they do for their own citizens. I do wonder, how many children could have been funded for an education instead?. Damn, I’d be willing to bet it was We the Patriots that funded it as well. I tell ya, payback is going to be a real life sized BITCH. Any day now fother muckers.
Does not matter how much bling is put on it, a turd is still a turd..
Bonni, you you ask a good question. Was the American taxpayer involved? I’m tired of giving gifts to my enemy trying to buy peace.
Ron, only now, Obama is supporting the Taliban with our money.
You are already paying jazia to them.
‘The quran is the central religious text of Islam and is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad’
Daily Mail Reporter. Quite a statement.
I say BULLSHIT. Satan is the greatest deciever ever known to man and God. The reporter is just being a good dhimmi, that’s all.
Yeah I noticed how they “report” that as factual, as opposed to the way in which it was revealed, presented as “what muslims believe” happened.
The quran is the central religious text of Islam and is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad.Muslims believe it was periodically revealed to Muhammad over the 23 years before his death at the age of 40 in 632AD.
Gee, what fun a person could have with a flame thrower, or a bucket of pigs blood right about now
This is a distraction. Afghanistan needs roads and infrastructure. The Koran is the most retrograde force on earth. It declares that perfection lies in the 7th century…in pedophilia, violent tribal mentality, group think, closed mindeness, superstition, misogyny.
The greatest blessing for Afghan women would be 1000 women’s shelters.
It must be great to be able to see sura 7-166,
2-65 and 5-60 in big letters stating that Jews are “Monkeys” and Christians “Pigs”
Even better when they can read sura 9-5 “kill all who do not believe in allah” (with a small a) This is certainly an achievement to rival a heart transplant or any other major medical break through.
Just another piece of muslim garbage.
My tax dollars at work. B.Hussein Obama must be proud.
The rest of America, on the otherhand….
Aside from the potential cost to the American taxpayer for this gargantuan monstrosity, how many trees were needlessly sacrificed to make this manual of mayhem, violence, and hate? No doubt all the tree huggers are much too busy camping out in “cardboard” boxes in DC and other major US cities rather than start an occupy Kabul movement. To expand upon Ret. Marine’s thesis above, How many school textbooks could have been printed out of the materials that went into the production of this colossal behemoth? Oh, I forgot, it IS a textbook. A madrassa textbook for the instruction of wickedness, barbarity, and crimes against humanity.
On a more banal level, I wonder how many hundreds of butts could be wiped from it’s pages? Oh silly me, I forgot, Afghans don’t use toilet paper, they live in the Stone Age and hence use an odd number of stones to do the deed. Such calloused butts must make for a proctological nightmare. Because of it Afghans don’t get hemorrhoids, they get callouses instead, lol.
I wonder how long it would take to burn?
Depends on what kind of fire we use.
Great – an even bigger lie.
This giant Quran reminds me of those cheesy attractions you see in out-of-the-way places that are desperately trying to get you to stop and spend a few bucks – the biggest ball of string, that sort of thing.
That thing just made the Guinness Book of World Records along with the hairiest woman in the world, the biggest shit ever taken, the guy with the most toes on one foot, etc.
Congratulations, idiots.
Gee! oh yes, we can equate that with something like going to the moon…way to go dirt eaters. Probably made with U.S. tax dallors, stolen from Nasa. I bet it will burn as fast as rocket fuel too!
Whoop-de-do. Makes a good missile target.
The logic of the cult …..Why invent reading glasses when you can just make the book bigger!
That’s priceless Bains it gave me a good laugh
Lol! They’re so smart.
The regular sized ones are easier to read.
They also build the tallest buildings (actually we do) over in Dubai for the same subconscious reasons. Whereas the tall buildings built by the West actually justify their construction economically, theirs actually have no chance of ever recovering the construction costs. I know of no giant Bible and even if there is one, no scholar, Christian, Jewish or secular would waste their time marveling over it!
They have one hell of a deep inferiority complex going.
That’s the mentality fostered in a failed culture dominated by the worship of a pedophile pirate.
cjk, the giant quran mentality is kind of like guys with small penises who feel compelled to buy expensive flashy cars.
BNI – so true. In one of the many psychology courses I completed in Canada, one of the Profs (a female) told the class of adult University students that people who build gigantic towers for show (not for religious reasons) are desperately trying to compensate for a gross lack of self-confidence and lack of belief in one’s own psyche… she also mentioned that they were structures predominantly in the male realm, and believed that they did point to a compensation of “small junk” (remember the “Don’t touch my junk.” brouhaha!). Maybe the west would make a lot of money exporting Viagra there! LOL.
Thomas Jefferson and the Quran….

I hope this is ok….this guy has been to Iraq fighting for our nation so I know he has earned the right to do this. We just need someone who shits giant shit to take care of that giant quran…

The flame thrower will take care of that giant quran. You can fry a pig at the same time just to have supper after the long day of giant quran burning.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (Quoting Cesare Beccaria)
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.
No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.
To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. (Back then!)
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.
And the day will come, when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as His Father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva, in the brain of Jupiter.
In matters of style, swim with the current;
In matters of principle, stand like a rock.
What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.
The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society.
When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality.
Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
AMEN.
The world’s largest toilet paper
Actually I do use free Cowrans (conveniently provided by the local mosque) for arse-wipe… but that one would be a bit difficult to move into the throne room.
what a waste of money.
WTF??!!!
“Ooooooh look what we diiiiid!” Dumb**ss morons!When not waging war on us infidels, the few neurons not fu**ed-up in that skull of theirs can only focus on that rag many of them never even read.
Ladies and gentlemen, the world’s largest bonfire…
oh dear – yes, as has been said what a waste of our tax money, but maybe there is a use for it. I would say that it is so large that even the most liberal of our leaders may be able to see it now for what it is – the biggest manual for evil ever written. – no on second thoughts… it is still too small for the British government of mine to see
worlds largest x-rated book on best ways to preform the seven deadly sins and still get 72 raisins as a reward. hope it falls over on them so we can see what a pressed muzzie as book marker looks like !
It’s a cookbook! It’s a cookbook! ARRGGGHh!
MGM12,
The Kanamits are only here to help us – they
said so . . . .
Best wishes,

So funny!I am showing a you tube brief summary of episodes from the Twilight Zone to my ESL student and To Serve Man was the last one we saw!
Well, take a great big piss toward Mecca, AND on a few dead Taliban “warriors” as well!! That giant Quran will make an excellent fuel for barbecue when the Day of Armageddon comes AND the the devout asslifters are ALL wiped out!!
Calling a giant Qur’an a major achievement just doesn’t pass the giggle test. Major achievement my ass! The only things achieved by the adherents to Islam are violent murders, misogyny, and other various atrocities. Now, indoor plumbing is a major achievement. So is the polio vaccine, a walk on the moon, airplanes, automobiles, trains, televisions, microwaves, and many other things invented by WESTERNERS.
Not to forget the many amazing and miraculous medicines and cures and surgerical procedures and advnaces in medicine developed by Nobel Prize recipients… of whom there are about 165 of Jewish heritage, and 5 muzzies (all for Peace! Ha! in a pig’s eye! LOL)
Don’t forget this giant book was published by the same people who invented the condom out of a goat intestine. On second thought, since the British improved the product by removing the intestine from the goat, it renders my point rather redundant. Awww.
I like it. Do we have any math wiz here. Here the problem how many Americans will it take to piss on this book till its wet completely. And how many days to dry it out to burn it.
at long freekin last!
the musrats have done something realy usefull!
Al read my mind!
Muhammad was 63 when he died.
and he was a 58-year-old DOM when he took a fancy to a little girl, Aisha, when she was only 6 years old, and married her and then “consummated” the marriage when she reached the mature age of 9 years old. DOM!
Watch out for that tree George! According to mad moe, it will rat you out like “Oh muslim, there’s a Jew hiding behind me. Come slay him!”
Oh, I get it guys. The reason its so big is so that their mad lunar god allah can read it from the Moon. It all makes sense now, perfectly.
Tells you where their priorities are.
In the immortal words of R. Lee Ermey, “I didn’t know you could stack shit that high!”
I bet it burns!
I’m out of toilet paper! religion of peace! my un-wiped ass.
They can make a big ass Quran, but they don’t spend any money helping people, such as feeding children, helping the poor, building their communities. They just make huge copies of their holy book.
If only all the mosques in the world could be turned into libraries and filled with books of true knowledge such as mathermatics, science, engineering, literature, the arts and humanities, invention, history…
I thought Americans are very thoughtful but I found out, you guys have a lot chip on your shoulder and no brain in your head……if you disagree look to your x president
you guys really disappointed me
Many Americans are very thoughtful. But we reject a thoughtless religion that thinks only of expanding itself at the expense of everyone else — even its own followers.
Islam kills not only non Muslims, but it also kills Muslims as well. What kind of religion is it that it kills even its own most devout followers?
Islam is the religion with the chip on the shoulder. It says to everyone, “Come and insult my religion! I dare you to knock it off!”
And this religion acts in the most brutal, horrific and brainless way imaginable. Come and explore this religion more carefully. Search this website more carefull and see what people do in the name of this religion and you will see why we feel the way we do about Islam.
And we are disappointed in you, john, that you are unable to see what we see.
Dear Steve S,
Look at yourself!
God give one thing that made you different from animals….you know what is that?
it is the power of thought(Intellect).
Extremest be Muslim, Christian or Judy, extremest is extremest!
extremest is emotional not logical. they are not using their brain and human value(Intellect).
Try to not do something or say something which isn’t logical…. don’t forget you are human don’t do the thing which stamp you as a extrem…….
Hey John, who’s Judy?
There are extremists in all religions, yes.
But Islam, of all the world’s religions seems to encourage extremism more than any other. Islam seems to do more than any other to destroy and subjugate the intellect you speak about, that we all are supposed to have as humans.
This website is dedicated to exposing that and this website is dedicated to exposing the myth that Islam is “just like every other religion.”
BTW, for those who are curious, Christians do have a world’s largest Bible. This Bible is called the Waynai Bible. Here is an excerpt from the article in the ACU (Abilene Christian University) website.
“In 1956, the ACU Library (then ACC) received a gift from the Rosen Heights church of Christ in Fort Worth that still remains the “largest” donation in this library’s history. This copy of the entire King James Bible was completed by Louis Waynai in Los Angeles, CA, in 1930, two years after he had begun the project. Devoting more than 8,700 hours to the book, Mr. Waynai printed the text using a large home-made rubber stamp press.
When laid open, the Waynai Bible measures 43.5 inches tall and 98 inches wide. Closed, the spine is 34 inches thick. The book has 8,048 pages and weighs in at 1,094 pounds. It now rests in an oak and glass case donated by Willa B Patterson (’34) and built by Jim Mitchell (’69) in 1989. The book was constructed so that it can be disassembled into 31 sections for moving purposes. Since its arrival at ACU in 1956, it has moved several times — always with great difficulty. In September of 2006, it was moved to the Gaines B. Stanley Sr. Theological Reading Room.”
Unlike the big Quran which was paid for by other people’s money, the guy who made the big Bible appears to have made it using his own funds and he then donated it to the University.
The Big Quran however still beats out the biggest Bible. The Quran is bigger and wider than the largest Bible, and the Bible weighs in at only 1,094 lbs, but the Quran weighs 800 kilos or about 1,763 lbs.
Necromancy reaches new heights and Jihadists elevate their symbols, while MSM lauds it as a singular achievement of this century, reflecting secularism and the pluralistic nature of societies (read west and american) societies, while in reality, they will rally that big shit even to aliens and declare jihad at any civilization. Hegel would be turning in his grave with serious stomach colic. For the first time, Islam has proved that, given their way there never would be any anti-thesis and in case if there ever happened to be an anti-theses, declare jihad against them kafirs and they have also going to prove that there would be no theses too, only big pile of junk, with exquisite calligraphy (well, i give them that).
you guys are effing dbags and need to get a life. It’s just a religion, like any other learn how to respect.
(The rest of your moronic drivel has been deleted. Save it for your paedophile prophet followers and the left wing wackos who love them. Now, get lost. —BNI)
Dear, Right back at ya
Were you born STUPID or have you just been that way all your miserable life? Time to grow up!
@ right-back-at-ya
If Islam were like Judaism or any other religion, there would not be too much point to this website.
There are extremists in all religions, true.
But how many religions do you know routinely kill, maim, and hurt others in the name of their God? This website documents this and also another website thereligionofpeace.com.
I know, I know, Christians have sometimes killed in the name of Jesus and God — the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Witch Mania, but yet, there were always Christians that questioned and even condemned other Christians for doing these atrocities. The New Testament advocates love for enemies and doing good to those who persecute you.
Other religions is a similar situation. Judaism has violent passages in its scriptures (and Christians, of course, share these with Jews), but Jews hardly live according to these anymore and Christians only rarely. When is the last time you ever heard of Jews stoning someone to death? How often do Christians kill anyone in the name of Jesus — maybe once in a great while — yes, it happens, but not often.
But Islam is different. It openly advocates violence in the name of religion, Muhammad and Allah. There is no sugar coating it. Muslims are rewarded for killing, injuring, and maiming in the name of Allah. And these are regular occurances. Their scriptures advocate violence as standing orders, and not merely as something in the past.
Biggest role of butt wipe I’ve ever seen!
Please Please Please!
Read the text of any book before expressing you good judgment about it
I know, non of you have read even a small text of Qur’an. Secondly, I don’t know why you people never think about its good points and why people in EU and US are converting to Islam.
