Did they check the handwriting to see if it was hers?

I seem recall seeing a clip of Marilyn Manson tearing up a Bible onstage, and of course the government subsidized "Piss Christ" ... how come nobody every got upset over that?

Do we have any statisticians on the board? Because 141 incidences out of over 2million American Muslims is statistically ZERO I believe. I bet 141 Muslims drowned in puddles last year, or 141 dogs swam in the ocean and were eaten by jellyfish.

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations released a study last week that showed reported hate crimes against Muslims nationwide in 2004 increased 52% over the previous year, to 141 incidents."

If there is such a thing as a "Right-Wing Attack Machine" then someone tell the pilot to steer towards CAIR. This is getting ridiculous.

I'd be curious as to how she proved that the hate speech was in the Koran before she received it.

Also, as someone mentioned, it was a used book. I found lots of offensive things written in used textbooks I paid through the nose for, that doesn't mean the seller is responsible.

Making the company who sold the book responsible does not in any way affect the person who actually penned the "hate speech", nor does it do anything to curb the anti-Muslim/Islam rhetoric and sentiment that the CAIR is complaining about.

The only thing that will set this right is bloody riots, murders,...and a Jihad for good measure.

The Religion of Peace demands nothing less.

Who CAIRs?

Have they offered a retraction to their last press release (that the antiAmerican press didn't question)? Seeing as how some of hte "harassment" noted were hoaxed, they really ought to look before they cry wolf again.

Agreed.

I've read of several accounts over the years (starting with Tawana Brawley) where greedy followers of that pseudo-religion known as "Victimization" stage phony hate-crime scenarios.

The fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf couldn't be more relevant here. As far as this Islamic woman is concerned, she (or maybe with CAIR's help) has staged this thing to:

1) Squeeze Amazon.com for an easy insta-Lotto jackpot or
2) Exploit the Newsweek uproar by introducing more "proof" that the Big Bad Uncle Sam is against these "poor peaceful" Muslims.

...Basarudin said the incident resurrected the fear she felt after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when anxiety about anti-Muslim sentiment made her reluctant to leave her apartment for two weeks. "I was taken back to 9/11, my fear that somebody is going to hurt me," Basarudin said at the Islamic Center of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Hmmmm...I wonder why she was so afraid. Could it be due to the FACT that the "Muslim Street" was gleefully cheering and celebrating the attacks of 9/11? Could it be due to her feelings of culpability for not speaking out against the attacks? Could it be because she knows the anger towards Muslims was (and is) justified?

If this woman knew anything about America and the values we hold dear then she would know that our anger was and remains justified but she would also know that all she need do is to speak out loudly against the attacks and against Islamofascism. We Americans are not going to go after someone who stands with us in condeming the actions of al quaeda and the minions of muhammed.

Tet68 said the incident resurrected the fear he felt after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when anxiety about anti-American sentiment made him reluctant to leave his bunker for two weeks.

"I was taken back to 9/11, my belief that muslims were trying to kill me."

There, that's more like it.

I think I'll go out and riot, throw a brick through a Starbuck's window and maybe kill someone or a cute little puppy or bunny. That'll show those stinky infidels!

Does anyone wonder why this is even newsworthy? A used book? When their religious leaders, newspapers, and television spew hatred every single day of the year?

CAIR is working aginst their own goals promoting this nonsense. They have no credibility.

You people should have more sympathy!

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!




I bought a Koran and finding this desecration written in it I had the same reaction!
The funny thing is, it seems to have been written in every copy I've found!

If the Muslims will come take that back, then I'd be happy to come fix her Koran.
Otherwise, it's just tit-for-tat.

Which was the hate? The stuff written on the cover, or that BETWEEN the covers? Seems to me that by definition the ignoble koran is hate lit, so she should just STFU and deal with it.

This is like the Professor in L A that said someone wrote hate messages on her care.
Turned out, she did itherself. She was convicted for filing a false report.
