April 19, 2006: Rare Qur'an Donated by Detroit Lawyer

"DEARBORN: - A nearly 300-year old English
translation of the Holy Qur'an -- the Islamic scriptures -- has been
donated to the Islamic Center of America (ICA) by Richard L. Steinberg, a
Detroit trial attorney. The book is to be held in trust for all Muslim
peoples in metro Detroit at the ICA, which is the largest mosque in North
America."

"'If we do not stand together as a nation, but become a community of
clashing cultures and warring factions, we will all be destroyed,"
Steinberg stated. "Jesus said 'I give to you a new commandment that you
shall love one another' and the Qur'an says 'I swear by the declining day
that man is in deep loss except for those who believe, do good deeds, urge
one another to the truth and urge one another to steadfastness.' This is
the community our faiths are calling us to.'"
