A Jewish psychology professor in Israel developed a teaching unit, comprised of Koranic verses, that his Muslim students could use when treating Muslim patients who were resistant to the approach of traditional Western psychology. The material, which was developed with his students and cleared by several Islamic clerical figures, was intended "to help students reinforce in their patients concepts like respect, responsibility, honesty, dignity and kindness."
His initiative is causing yet another wave of hysteria in the Arab media for two reasons. First, that a Jew dared to write about the Koran. Second, that he dared to suggest that Islam has a kinder, gentler side. Says a professor at Al-Azhar university in Cairo (the foremost university for Sunni Islam): the Israeli project "aims to tarnish the image of Islam by giving wrong interpretation of the noble Koran."
I'm not making this up - read it for yourself. Thanks to Jihad Watch.
