Tell her that it was a Quran, but that it was the copy of the Quran that Abe Lincoln used. Make up some tale of how Lincoln received it as a gift from "The Sultan of Araby" way back in 1860, just before he was elected, and he decided to use it because the curvy swervy funny writing looked so nice.

Some people are so confused and stuffed fulla nonsense, there's almost no point in trying to straighten them out, so you might as well feed them some extra-ridiculous hooey. That way, when they express their "ideas", people can tell even more quickly that they're a nincompoop.
