I've been in hotels where I've found not only a Bible, but also the Book of Mormon.

Considering how prevalent the Bible is to Western society, I'm sure that someone who wanted to read one would have done so already. Not a big deal, just something I find odd. Put it in there, I don't mind, but I've already had ample opportunity to read one and have decided not to.

Where I draw the line is cult materials being in hotel rooms. How would you feel seeing something from Heaven's Gate or The People's Temple in your hotel room? If you don't see a problem do a little research and youll quickly find out why you should remove this kind of material.

I would object to seeing Qu'rans in American hotels (or in my country if that were the custom, although many people are not religious here), because those countries are of Christian heritage or, in the case of America, simply have a Christian majority. I feel like this would open the door to too much political correctness, because the moment it becomes fashionable to put Qu'rans in nightstands - even in places where Muslims are very few or non-existent - then the hotels who refuse to do such will get branded as Islamophobic. It may be laughable, but in the current context, I can see this happening quite clearly. I simply do not see the point, just like I wouldn't see the point of putting a Bible in a deeply religious Islamic country. It seems to me more like a jab than anything else ("Christians want their books in there? Well then, it's okay for them to do so as long as I can place my religious books there too!).
In the end, it's up to the hotel, though. If an hotel catering to Muslim travellers opens up in the middle of Wyoming I won't mind if it has Qu'rans in each rooms.

It's not disrespectful not to put the other books. I feel like people are too concerned with making a point for the sake of making a point in this debate. Because then, which religions are "major" and which are not? What about atheists and Pastafarians? Etc...

I don't like this. Also, the apostrophe goes after the r, not after the u.Arcanda wrote:It's not disrespectful not to put the other books.
