This is a false analogy. Please refrain.
The muslim faith believes that the Quran is more than a holy book. It has been given to them by GOD.
Christians (and dare I say, every other non-muslim) cannot appreciate this.
Christians believe that the Bible is a Holy book. Written by apostles. The word of the Lord is captured in the teachings. There are millions of copies of the Bible, in different forms (KJV, NIV, et cetera) that teach the rules of the christian faith. I do not dispute that.
Muslims believe that the book that they are holding, the very book that they can touch and turn the pages on, was given to them by GOD. Not the print shop where it was made, but by GOD's OWN HAND.
Okay. There is a very religious christian in Tulsa Oklahoma, who wakes up one morning and sees GOD in his bedroom. God says "Here, take this." and hands him a bible. Then GOD does that for every christian on earth. Would people then become murderously angry when that book was derecrated? I believe so.
Please, for the sake of clarity, I am officially begging here:
Stop comparing Christianity to Islamic beliefs. It does not translate well.

I see.....
So at what age does god give them all their personal Quran?
Does he use recycled paper?
Does he own the websites for the online editions?
I know Muslims attempt to constantly reassure themselves the Quran is holy and miraculous, I've seen them do it many times myself. Its still a pisspoor excuse for murder and intolerance.
