"People should open their minds to new ideas and be more tolerant of others."
Oh yeah? Well shouldn't that go for them too?
"Missions Required of the Military Organization:
The main mission for which the Military Organization is responsible is:
The overthrow of the godless regimes and their replacement with an Islamic regime."-Al Qaeda training manual.
... so sue me.
"Probably did it themselves, Pappy."
They were probably returned by fellow Muslims who in their afterlife, noticed that these things just don't hold up where they find their eternal souls post-mortem......
The koran is not a "holy" book...it is a manual for murder, torture, enslavement and repression of women. Allah is a pig if he had anything to do with writing this piece of trash.
John Harrison, a law professor at the University of Virginia, said defining an act as a hate crime is not as easy as people outside law enforcement might imagine.
For example, if a person is assaulted, it is a crime. If that crime is motivated by race, religion or ethnic origin it becomes a hate crime, which carries a greater penalty.

The US Flag is allowed to be burned as an act of Freedom of speech and expression. These Communists are underming our US Constitution.
You had me going there for a minute. I thought the US Navy was starting to speak German or your fingers slipped on the keyboard while trying to spell verisimilitude.

It's a waste of food however so I'm gonna ask the grocery store if the have any outdated meat.
"Well the fact that the perpetrators actually understood the significance of a book would rule out any VPI students as likely suspects"
too funny! Go Hokie High!
My idea was to put footprints all over the pages.
"Show em the foot."
People should open their minds to new ideas for soiling the koran.
Since when did misdemeanor littering constitute a "hate crime"?
I wouldn't desecrate someone's holy book, because I was brought up better than that. Having said that, I can't help wondering if this is just another case of them "crying wolf" to push their agenda as an aggrieved group.
Seems to me burning the queeran is a form of protest, and a good one at that!
The Koran burned with "gay" flag & copies of Roe v. Wade
Operation Save America With God’s help and an eight page letter from a Christian legal organization, Liberty Counsel, the City of Columbus blinked and Operation Save America was granted a burn permit. Tonight those things detestable to God Almighty were set aflame. Children and youth tore copies of Roe v. Wade and added them to the fire. A "gay" flag was burned. Then Pastor Flip held up a Koran and said, "This book causes young men and women to become suicide bombers, blow people up and call it good, or crash airplanes into buildings…and the lying imams of this land say it’s not a violent book." He said, "We have three choices: To be killed by the Muslims, to kill them, or to convert them." He indicated our preference is for the latter. He had husbands and fathers come forward to burn the Koran. Several Muslims, who had aligned themselves with the rabble rousers who are present each evening, held pro-Islam signs. One snapped picture after picture of Flip, then spoke into a cell phone for the rest of the evening. A fight broke out among two men on the opposing side (pro-aborts, sodomites, Muslims, heathen, antinomians, etc. fight themselves). They were arrested as the rally ended.

Let 'em get the message that we aren't all DU pussies.
What crime? "Hate Littering"?
You sir, are 100% correct! If I buy it, then it's mine. I have the right to burn it, wipe my islam with it, or anything else I feel justified in doing to it. This is an insult to the the first amendment's freedom of speech! What day here in America do we want to have a crokan burning day, as a freedom of expression day?
