'Palestinian Prisoner Destroyed Quran'
Ynet News ^ | June 19, 2005 | Raanan Ben-Zur

Posted on 06/19/2005 3:28:20 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

A female Palestinian security prisoner in Ashkelon’s Shikma Prison tore up pages from a copy of the Quran and threw them toward the toilet during a routine search Sunday, the Israel Prison Service said.

The 22-year-old detainee from a village near Hebron is an Islamic Jihad member who was arrested three months ago in suspicion of hostile terror activity.

She resisted a routine search by a female guard, and then took out torn Quran pages from her skirt and hurled them toward the toilet.

The guard handed the torn Quran pages to the prison’s director, and Prison Service officials said she showed heightened sensitivity to the holy Islamic book.

“Security prisoners are permitted to keep Qurans, and the Prison Service provides them with the books, but tearing pages out of the book and throwing them in the bathroom is blasphemy and hinders the prisoners’ right to conduct religious rites,” a Prison Service official said.

The Palestinian prisoner was eventually transferred to the Hasharon Prison as planned.

A month ago Palestinian security prisoners detained in the Megiddo Prison claimed prison guards tore up pages from Quran copies during searches of their cells.

Especially, seeing them being fatted up on good food and having to practically wipe their backside for them.

Funny, how little details like that are left out when the media is talking about how much we should respect their practices.

They are allowed to touch it, just not when they are 'unclean' (if ya know what I mean).

I know what you mean; I'm just quoting an 'abu' that told me about the law.

I can't believe the world in which we live. These monsters have been kidnapping, murdering, blasting, burning, and beheading innocent people for years. Then graduating into flying civilian commercial aircraft into buildings, murdering thousands of innocent men, women, and children, laying siege to schools and blasting and murdering more hundreds of innocent children. And causing at least 19 of the current 20-some armed conflicts around the world, and preaching mayhem and murder to their mindless, hateful, pathetic, useless followers -- and yet all we hear about is non-stop nonsense about their DAMNED F*ING KORANS!

There, I feel much better now.

Oh yeah. Sorry to be so unseeeeensative, but, PS:

I don't blame her. Any woman must be crazy to want to believe the words of a pedophile like Mohammed. That's like worshipping the words of Charles Manson. Egads!

Not to mention setting them up in the Ramadan Inn-Gitmo.

During Ramadan one year over here ~ a local was explaining to me that all Muslims must fast from sunrise to sunset.

I said I saw a few ladies who were not fasting and he told me that they were um... menstuating.

So each time you see a Muslim lady who is not fasting, you can visualize the reason why. ewwww...

They are not allowed to touch it and menstrate at the same time.

But men are allowed to hold it when they are beheading an innocent civilian. Such a civilized culture.

"What was a woman doing with the Quran? Women aren't allowed to touch the Quran."

I'm pretty sure they are, actually.

If they don't I'll be very surprised. I guess we're going to have to continue kissing Muslim backsides until the end of time.

Ah no. It is forbidden to touch or carry the Qur'an while one is in a state of impurity. Some scholars won't let women touch the Quran at all because they could be unclean. Some teach that women have to have the Quran interpreted to them.

The extremist intrepretations are followed in places like Palestine.

I haven't figured out why the MSM thinks the rest of us give a hoot about terrorists imprisoned at Gitmo. The least of my concerns is "desecrated" korans.
