Hi!

I think the problem with your opening the attachment is that somewhere 
along the line, possibly by the sender using Windows, the type and 
creator codes got stripped from the file, so even though the name says 
".html", that doesn't mean much to a Mac, since we can name our files 
anything we want (at least pre-OS X) short of using colons, as I recall.

When I tried to open it, I got an error message "application which 
created this file can't be found."  So, using one of the several 
different, effective utilities for viewing creator and type codes, I 
discovered that neither a creator nor a type code was associated with 
your file.  Since files for Explorer (which I use) to open are TEXT type 
and MSIE creator codes, I just changed those; then double-clicked on the 
file; and voila! it opens.

I don't think I have anything peculiarly set on my Mac, except somewhere 
I set it for MSIE to open html files attached to Emailer emails.

As to the content of the quote, have you checked the Urban Legends or one 
of the similar hoax-debunking sites to see if this all-too-convenient 
reference to the Koran might be bogus?
