Re: License Islamic Holy material

`Abdalla,

	I've removed the text of the Qur'an from my web site.  I didn't 
like the idea of people using Google to search a text that had mistakes in 
it.  I still have it as a zipped file, but I don't think Google will be 
able to search it now.  I will take a look at the Qur'an you mentioned at 
http://qurankareem.info/a/NormalQuran.zip.  Maybe I will just make a link 
from my web page to that site.
