A spokesperson for Iranian company, Iran Khodro, says its "Islamic Car" should be readily available throughout the Middle East, parts of Asia, and Africa, in three years.
The car will have options including a compass to find Mecca and a compartment for a Koran. Priced between $8,700 and $12,000, the vehicle is meant to appeal to buyers who would like a car designed with Muslims in mind and produced by a company that acts in line with Muslim values.
Iran Khodro's Popular Samand Line
Iran Khodro is working with Malaysia's Proton to bring the vehicle to Asia's Islamic markets, in a strategic initative to introduce the car worldwide.
The region's largest car manufacturer, Iran Khodro, produces vehicles under license from manufacturers including Peugeot, Renault, Suzuki and Mercedes-Benz.

Reform Koran
Submitted on December 17th, 2007 by Muslims Against Sharia (not verified)Many people talk about the need to reform Islam. Now you can stop talking and start helping.
With the help of our readers we went through the Koran and removed every verse that we believe did not come from Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. However, it is possible that we missed something, and we could use your help. If you find verses in the reformed version of the Koran that promote violence, divisiveness, religious or gender superiority, bigotry, or discrimination, please let us know the number of the verse and the reason why it should be removed. Please email your suggestions to koran-AT-reformislam.org.
When we finish editing process, we would like to publish Reform Koran in as many languages as possible. If you could help with translation or distribution of the Reform Koran, please email us at koran-AT-reformislam.org. If you could provide financial support, please visit our support page.

Islamic Car Commercial
Submitted on December 18th, 2007 by Kevin Schurig (not verified)Coming in 2012 it's the "Islamic Car." Now you too can become a martyr in style. With rich Corinthian leather. Your new car will include such amenities as a built in cd player so you can listen to the rantings of your favorite immam while using the GPS to direct you to your target. The GPS also doubles as a detonator. The truck has sufficient space for everyone, from the shade tree bomber in the Gaza to the most discriminating martyr from Medina and Mecca. And here's the best, the Islamic Car will go to heaven with you and can miraculously expand to fit your 76 virgins. So save up and come on down to Ahmed's Islamic Car Emporium in 2012. No credit, no problem, we accept only cash. No se llama espanol.
Not a hybrid?
Submitted on December 18th, 2007 by CT (not verified)I note that it's not a hybrid. Is ecocide Koran-friendly, just like threaten-oppress-or-kill-everyone-who-doesn't-think-exactly-like-me-and-even-that-is-iffy-cide?
I guess "hybrid" is unIslamic, because it could be interpreted as meaning allowing infidels to coexist, women to mingle with men, or accepting some aspects of modern civilization.
Hah!
Submitted on December 18th, 2007 by Brian (not verified)I bet the CIA hacks the factory and adds satellite GPS tracking to each car so that cruise missiles can easily take each one out. ;)
You guys are original
Submitted on December 23rd, 2007 by Creative (not verified)You're comments really show some potential, I'm sure as hell you would comment on a car designed for Africans and call them ni***rs. Oh wait you are allowed to be racists as long as it socially accepted by you're society. I can't wait till a major country claims you're religion, beliefs, and everything you grew to believe is considered a threat to humanity so some 32 year old immature men can make themselves look cooler while playing video games. Grow up
I'm appalled by the
Submitted on December 28th, 2007 by Anonymous (not verified)I'm appalled by the hostility, if not outright hatred, expressed towards Muslims by so many comments here. One cannot judge an entire religious group based on the activities of extremists. WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE??? Should I follow your example of narrow minded judgement? If so, a la X-Files episode entitled "Home", I would expect you to roll your legless, armless, toothless mother out from under the bed and commence to fornicatin' so's you can keep yer simple-minded xenophobic line going strong!
