Politicising the Quran

Beast —

Have a look at this pic.

This man is holding open the Quran at a Hamas rally celebrating the party's election victory.

This 'gesture' is made in an Al Qaeda video too. One person holds the Quran open and a few other people hold klashnikovs in front of the Quran.

Muslim Brotherhood members do this also.

Does anybody know whether they open up the Quran at a particular verse or do they just open it at any random page?

EDIT: This was getting buried in the No Topic thread so I gave it a thread of it's own.

Here is a more revealing example:

The two copies of the Quran being held up appear to be opened at the same page. Anybody know what page it is and what verse(s) they are trying to highlight?

Normally the Quran is opened at a page referring to the martyrs, and generally at Surah Tawbah, according to my knowledge.

and then jams before completing the job!

(the 'beauty' of the kklashnikov is its so simple, that almost nothing jams/breaks it!)

Naj posted a hadith a while ago which said a sign of the end of time was that the Qur'an will be seen as a formal book...

If we start to 'respect' the qur'an so much that we neglect to read it, is that not worse than using it as a show of force?
