HATE FUROR AT PACE U. (Koran in toilet sparks outrage)
Associated Press ^ | 10/20/06

Muslim activists called on Pace University yesterday to crack down on hate crimes after a second copy of the Koran was found in a toilet at its Manhattan campus.

"This incident meets the legal definition of a hate crime," said Aliya Latif, a member of the Association of Muslim American Lawyers. "Indeed, this is no different from placing a burning cross in front of a house or painting a swastika on a locker."

The discovery of the holy book in a toilet at Pace's lower Manhattan campus on Oct. 13 follows a similar act at Pace on Sept. 21.

Earlier this month, someone scrawled racial slurs on a student's car at the Westchester County campus and on a bathroom wall at the campus in lower Manhattan.

Pace officials had no immediate comment yesterday but have referred the matter to police. NYPD spokesman Detective Kevin Czartoryski said the investigation into the Koran desecrations

I just watched United 93. Those passengers had guts and like someone said, they were the first "soldiers" in this WOT. Watching how they depicted those Islamofascists, how they celebrated the hits on the WTC, how they killed the pilot, co-pilot, that passenger and flight attendant made me absolutely disgusted.

I have NO sympathy for Islam. They can call Christians and Jews pigs, apes and this nation is the "Great Satan" but they want to kill anyone who speak against their bloodthirsty "religion"? We shouldn't trust any of them.

I wonder if the book in the toilet had been a Bible...

That would be called 'artistic freedom' and would have a one month showing at the Met.

Correct. If someone purchases a Koran they are free to do with it what they wish, as long as they don't injure someone with it.

This Koran owner shouldn't have blocked someone else's toilet with it, but his use of the Koran was far less destructive than the usual devout Koran owner's use of it.

"This has to stop. It could do serious damage to the plumbing, maybe even cause a flood and wreck the plaster on the next floor down."

On the contrary, concerned Americans should start leaving pages of the holy book in EVERY urinal, every day. Time to show them how we truly feel about their "religion" of hate.

No fooling.

When I grew up, it was:

"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt me."

Of course, our self esteem really sucked, (according to today's psychobabblers) and we didn't feel victimized (too stupid I guess) and a bitchin fight behind the bleachers after school fixed stuff......

Kohler (PBH) or American Standard (PBH) would not be happy.

I'm continually amazed that the only place a Koran ever ends up in a toilet is where there is a Muslim activist group around to make political hay of it.

Anyone have that image of the Vichy Inspector from Casablanca?

"This incident meets the legal definition of a hate crime"

It meets the definition of Federally Funded Art. (only if it was a Bible)

Then they would have to agree that when Saudi Arabia confiscates all bibles on people heading into that nation and burns them they are also committing a hate crime?

Immature, but harmless college prank.

I am particularly disturbed at people showing hate to toilets like this. How disresepctful.

And think of the poor sewer and sanitation workers, having to see something like a koran.

And a rat may see a koran too. The poor animals!

We could call it "The Koran Movement."

<< How much do you want to bet both were plants to generate false outrage? >>

Quite likely to create the appearance of rationalization and justification among the gullible.

Although in fact islamanazi outrage has sustained itself for fourteen hundred years so far without external stimuli.
