An excellent point, Amos.
A couple of hours ago I was listening to the radio, and some journo was spouting forth about how Gideons Bibles should be banned from hotel rooms because (she thought) they "limit freedom of choice". Her opponent simply said "well, how about adding a copy of the Coran in English as well, then?" - she was stumped. Having read your post, I now think there are at least two excellent reasons why the Gideon organisation should actually publich and distribute such a version of the Coran, if nobody else will.
