...One of the basic tenets of Islam is that once a Koran has been printed it is expected to last for all time, no matter how old, ratty, and smelly other, lesser holy books may become. Should it actually become necessary to put a Koran out of its misery there is a ritual that includes extensive charivari, featuring long drawn-wailing and head bonking, ritual wife beating, and the sacrifice of dozens of women's noses and pubic lips. When the actual disposal has been completed there is a prescribed period of celebratory gun sex with the expectation of a minimum of two hundred casualties.

On July 12, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva condemned recent attacks on the Koran, despite some Western countries voting against the resolution. The Council's resolution called for condemning such attacks and labeling them "acts of religious hatred."
Danish and Swedish authorities expressed concern over the situation and condemned the burning of the Koran. Both countries have laws banning hate speech against ethnic, national, and religious groups and people based on sexual orientation. However,

burning holy scriptures has not been classified as hate speech but is seen as acceptable criticism.
