I was born into a Catholic family. In my youth the mass was said in Latin. Without learning the rest of the language it didn't take long to learn what was being said in the mass. Most missals had a side by side translation which added understanding.
It has been interesting to see how the responses to the original questions have evolved. Whether it was intended that way or not, I took the question to be: Will I let my anger at the acts of terrorists, who happen to be Muslim, lead me to delete a copy of the Koran. For me, the answer to that was, no I won't.
But, I think the question can be read and interpreted on a very different level and then answered in the affirmative without displaying some kind of knee-jerk prejudice. At least, I hope that is the case as the "Yes" answers seem to be winning the day at this point.
