Hate Crime - Koran in Urine - No Hate Crime - Crucifix in Urine
HT : Mark SteynHate-crime arrests in Quran desecrations at Pace University July 27, 2007, 8:33 PM EDT NEW YORK (AP) _ A 23-year-old man was arrested Friday on hate-crime charges after he threw a Quran in a toilet at Pace University on two separate occasions, police said. Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment, both hate crimes, police said. It was unclear if he was a student at the school. A message left at the Shmulevich home was not immediately returned. The Islamic holy book was found in a toilet at Pace's lower Manhattan campus by a teacher on Oct. 13. A student discovered another book in a toilet on Nov. 21, police said. So now they have survelience cameras in the school bathrooms. I heardsurveillance cambers are everywhere. My wife's two tickets automatically given by red light cameras are but the tip of the iceberg, I guess Muslim activists had called on Pace University to crack down on hate crimes after the incidents. As a result, the university said it would offer sensitivity training to its students. How about lets crack down of these inciting to violence to get virgins in the afterlife Imams, and those flying buffoons who acted up just to be jackasses on that flight. Flying Imams sounds like a degenerate rock group The school was accused by Muslim students of not taking the incident seriously enough at first. Pace classified the first desecration of the holy book as an act of vandalism, but university officials later reversed themselves and referred the incident to the New York Police Department's hate crimes unit. Hate crime my ass. Stupid, il-advised. Yes. Hate crime? No. The Hate crime squad are the new facists in the US. Their modus opperandi is no different than the Nazi Gestapo. The incidents came amid a spate of vandalism cases with religious or racial overtones at the school. In an earlier incident on Sept. 21, the school reported another copy of the Quran was found in a library toilet, and in October someone scrawled racial slurs on a student's car at the Westchester County satellite campus and on a bathroom wall at the campus in lower Manhattan. Police did not connect Shmulevich to those incidents. So why was it mentioned? If there is such a thing as a hate crime that might be one because it was done against a person or his property. If Shmulevich bought those Korans himself, they are his property and he can do what he wants. Perhaps he should be charged for a plumbers call to unstop the toilet... Treatment of the Quran is a sensitive issue for Muslims, who view the book as a sacred object and mistreating it as an offense against God. The religion teaches that the Quran is the direct word of God. And? "The Bible" is liverwurst, I suppose? Until they procecute Serranop for a hate crime against Christians, this is P.C. to the max! In 2005, Newsweek magazine published and later retracted a story claiming U.S. interrogators at a prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, flushed a copy of the holy book down a toilet. The report sparked deadly demonstrations in Afghanistan and protests throughout the Middle East. When all else fails run around the streets - yell - scream - riots - mayhem... It is written! Pace University has 14,000 students on its campuses in New York City and Westchester County. Messages left for school administrators and for officials with the New York and national chapters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations were not immediately returned Friday evening. Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the national CAIR office (Usual Suspects) in Washington, D.C., has said the organization receives frequent reports of Quran desecrations in the United States, especially postings on Internet sites, but seldom makes them public. He said CAIR decided to speak out about the Pace incidents because Muslim students are impacted by the creation of what could be viewed as a hostile campus environment. But of course when "Piss Christ", by Serrano appeared, no ine called that a hate crime did they? Posted by: BigEd 2007-08-01 |
