I want to urge people *not* to try to have Qadiani texts removed.  In the
first place, I believe it is wrong to try to take something out of the
public library because you believe it to be heretical.	In the second
place, I think they would have small chance of success, and the attempt
would hurt the image of Islam in American eyes much more than any
heretical text could. Putting alternative texts in the library is very
good idea (libraries could definitely use a better selection of books
about Islam), but removing books isn't.
