I am against putting this into KDE as well
by Moritz Moeller-Herrmann on Tuesday 17/Jul/2001, @05:56

While I am personally agnostic (with an atheistic bias), I think including this program could cause problems for KDE users in Arabic and other intolerant countries. (Saudi-Arabia, Lybia, Afghanistan, Cuba)

Unless you rename the program to a neutral name (K Text Study) and provide access to the Koran and maybe other texts, I would keep it seperate. This is not an antireligious opeinion, I don't care about your beliefs at all, but I think it would damage KDE's reputation in non-christian countries with censorship.

That is a really good point, but I doubt this app would become part of the main distro since most people would never have any use for it.
