A KORAN has been torn up and smeared with faeces and the floors of a Melbourne prayer hall urinated on, in an apparent retaliation to Muslim schoolboys desecrating the Bible.
The Islamic community was last night furious as the police continued their investigation into the "criminal damage" done to the Melbourne airport facility on Wednesday morning.
Muslim spiritual leader Fehmi Naji El-Imam condemned the desecration as "ignorant and immature", fearing that it was in retaliation to an incident earlier this month where young boys at a Melbourne Islamic school burned and urinated on the Bible.
"This kind of behaviour just puts you off," the Victorian Board of Imams' secretary said last night. "We want to eliminate all these kind of things from happening to any (holy book)."
While police last night refused to outline or confirm the damage done to the prayer centre, Sheik Fehmi said he was told that the floor was urinated on and the Koran was torn up and someone had "wiped themselves" with it.
He said while he was not expecting any violent retaliation from the Islamic community, the offenders should be "strongly punished by the law".
"The courts should handle it once the person is caught," Sheik Fehmi said.
A statement by the Victorian Board of Imams last night warned the Islamic and Christian community against an "us and them" mentality.
"The prayer room is a place that must remain clean, not covered in urine and faeces.
"Enough is enough. No more us and them ... The striving of our forefathers was not for this; they would be really ashamed of us if they were to witness what we have sunk to.

Disgusting
That's gonna leave a mark.
You're not kidding. The Koran chafes mine to no end.
It's not different from what the ACLU is doing to the U.S. Constitution, when you think about it, through the Liberal Activist Judges...
Allah Akbar !
I put a little bacon grease on them Koran books and feed them to the goats and hogs.
Hey, if Allah wills it to happen, it must be the right thing, right, Iman?
Muslim spiritual leader Fehmi Naji El-Imam condemned the desecration as "ignorant and immature", fearing that it was in retaliation to an incident earlier this month where young boys at a Melbourne Islamic school burned and urinated on the Bible.
Hey, they started it..
I'm SURE the muzzie outrage at this was equal to their outrage over this koran deal..right?? right?? right?? right??
Wait a minute... who started this crap? Oh... sorry.
Gosh, I wonder who started that
Should be interesting to watch, some Westernized society is going to be the first to deal with its Islamic problem, and I suspect the Aussies have the stones to be that nation.
~ one upsmanship in integration ~
You would think that it was like america USED to be, that people immigrated to BE AN AMERICAN. This used to mean participate and integrate; and not be a muslim palestainian first and then whatever second and somewheres down in the list be an american.
All I want to know is did he he say the same thing when his boys desecrated the Bible.
They also dealt with it. The schoolboys involved were expelled from the Islamic school they attended, and from what I've heard were also very severely punished by their parents.
What they did was disgusting. But that does not excuse this.
I disagree with this. "It" should have been left on the street....covered in feces and urine...not inside a prayer room. Disgusting to do so.
"This kind of behaviour just puts you off," the Victorian Board of Imams' secretary said last night. "We want to eliminate all these kind of things from happening to any (holy book)."
Of course, what he fails to mention is that they don't consider ANY book by the Queeran holy.
"...Enough is enough. No more us and them..."
Isn't that what they want? According to the koran, islam is to be the ONLY "religion" the world will ever know. That will be achieved through the deaths of the infidels.
BTW, you will notice I didn't use an uppercase letter for koran or islam. Simply put, it didn't deserve any respect. Respect is earned and that cult hasn't sent in the required number of boxtops for that. I never use an upper letter when mentioning anything having to do with the cult known as islam. NEVER!
Just shoot the Muslim POS!
