Police have confiscated tens of thousands of copies of a banned version of the Koran that came under fire for promoting religious hatred. Now the authorities must decide what to do with them.
Throughout 2016, German authorities carried out raids on hundreds of locations across 10 federal states in a crackdown on the True Religion Salafist group, confiscating tens of thousands of copies of a fundamentalist translation of the Koran. According to media reports on Friday, the government was grappling with how to dispose of the texts and the only option may be to bury the whole lot in the desert.
In one warehouse alone in the Cologne suburb of Pulheim, wrote German broadcaster WDR, some 22,000 of these controversial Korans sit wrapped in plastic. Emblazoned with the word Lies! which translates to Read! or Read It, the books were removed from circulation for spreading messages of hate and anti-constitutional ideologies, in the words of Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière.

Like theres a good translation, and nobody can get their own Arabic translators and figure out what the original texts say. Really clever, right?

They could always say they buried them at sea after a short ceremony.

Emblazoned with the word Lies! Seems like there was some unintentional humor in there for English readers.

“Lies!” = “Read it!” ??
Can someone who knows German validate this?

Seems to come out as that in Google Translate, if you include the exclamation point. Reverse translating “Read it” without the exclamation point, it becomes “Lies es”.

Give them to the butcher to wrap their bacon.

While my first impulse would be just give them to Salafists outside Germany, we don’t want to spread that stuff around. So don’t they have a way of respectfully burning or burying such material in Islam, that wouldn’t raise too much stink?

How is burying them in a desert preferable to burning them or flushing them down the loo?
Is it all about optics?
Why not do the same to the 10,000 muslims who HAD these seized hate texts? It isn’t the books that are killing Germans in the streets.

So dont they have a way of respectfully burning or burying such material in Islam, that wouldnt raise too much stink? Saudi Arabia burns seized Christian bibles every year and no one in the West bats an eyelash.

You can’t tell me that Germany doesn’t know how to burn books.

They could always say they buried them at sea after a short ceremony. President Obama is against crowing about how he "got Osama".
Again omitting the FACT that HE gave Osama Bin Laden a taxpayer funded RESPECTFUL Islamic funeral.
