The privilege is not that they are provided. It's that they are allowed by otherwise impartial hotels to be there, no questions asked. Can I leave millions of copies of The Quran? Of Ulysses? Of Industrial Society and Its Future?

    Have you tried? Until an org starts trying to place the Quran, and is told they can't, there is no privilege involved. Once that happens, I'll buy your argument, until then, nope.

    Well, you'll be glad to learn that hotels in Muslim countries often do keep copies of the Quran.

    I haven't tried to place copies of the Unabomber's manifesto in hotel drawers, but then again I haven't tried to get a small loan of $1,000,000 or the deed to an emerald mine from my parents because, as it turns out, you don't actually need to experience literally everything that you hold an opinion on. I don't like rape either, lads, and I'm not giving it a try.
