Since a Utah law bans books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, both in libraries and in the classroom, a parent is suing to ban “one of the most sex-ridden books around”, a book that contains “incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide"

Probably not an arch-conservative.

The Koran?

Never read it, so i can't comment on its contents. I've heard stories about it, but am just not interested in that drivel.
As for banning it, this is my guess and only my guess:
I don't think that Muslims would object to *banning* the Koran; they very much object to *burning* it.
Just from observing Muslims here as well as in India, they generally aren't into conversion or forcing their belief down non-believers' throats, as much as Christians are. Most Muslims, like most Christians are peaceful, but there are exceptions on both sides.
As far as ISIS and Al Qaeda go, here's my guess, and only my guess:
Christianity was founded around the year 0, Islam around the year 600. Both religions split into 2 camps that hated each other. About 1600 years after its founding, the two Christian camps engaged in a violent, cruel, hate-driven war, that killed about 1/3 of the total population. About 1400 years after its founding, Islam's 2 camps are now engaged in a similar violent, cruel, hate-driven conflict against each other, as well as any outsider that steps into the middle of it. Seems like they're going through a similar paroxysm that Christianity went through then. Remember, bin Laden's beef was with the hated Saudi heretics; he only turned against the US after we sided with his enemy, and sent our tanks and soldiers into what he considered his holy land.

So anyhow, should we ban the Koran as well as the bible from schools
because of their pronographic content?

I am not surprised that this went over your head. Just to clarify, i do not advocate banning books. That's a right-wing anti-free-speech idea.
Like the law proposed by Ron DeSaster (Florida SB 148), prohibiting the teaching of anything that makes whites feel uncomfortable.

We don't want to make those snowflakes uncomfortable by teaching about things like slavery or the holocaust, don't we?
But if we actually do that, the liberals might call our hypocrisy, so we have to scour those undesirable books for anything that can be construed into being "pronographic" (sic) content.
"We don't want to expose students to pron" sounds better than "We don't want students to think for themselves, and consider ideas outside right-wing propaganda".
So we can't ban a book that depicts the holocaust as a cartoon between Jewish mice and Nazi cats for that reason. Instead, let's look through it to see if we can find anything that could be twisted into "pronographic content".
AHA! There we go. there's a frame with a female mouse drawn with her boobs showing! That's clearly pronographic content! Now we have a legitimate reason to ban this book.

It's that hypocrisy that they were trying to point out by suing to ban the bible for pronographic content. Can you understand that?
Pro-freedom people don't want the bible banned. Or the koran. Or anything else.
This is simply a protest action against all those deliberate, enthusiastically supported violations of the first amendment. You people are so hung up on misinterpreting the 2nd amendment (what part of "well-regulated" don't you understand?), that you are trying to sweep the 1st amendment under the rug. You people claim to be for "free speech", yet you want to suppress any ideas that do not conform to right-wing thought control. A textbook case of hypocrisy.

Just to forestall something, in case you raise the strawman of "cancel culture"
The first amendment says, "Congress shall make no law...", meaning the *government* must stay out of dictating what people may or may not read. This is very different from private businesses and institutions banning people from using their facilities to spout hatred, lies, or exhortations to violence. When "Dilbert" was voluntarily canceled by newspapers because of Scott Adam's racist remarks, this does not in any way, shape, or form compare to Florida SB 148, a government action. The former was newspapers exercising their discretion, the latter was governmental violation of the 1st amendment.

So many factual errors in all of that. But one hell of an unhinged
rant. I give it 1/10.

Translation: It disagrees with what Trump, Tucker Carlson, DeSantis, and the National Enquirer assert as "facts".

Translation: It does not verbatim copy whatever circulates in your echo chamber.
