US man sentenced for throwing QURANS
A New York university student who twice threw copies of the Quran into a toilet at the university was sentenced to 300 hours of community service, press reports said on Monday.
Russian immigrant Stanislav Shmulevich, 24, admitted that he threw the Muslim holy book into toilets at New York's Pace University on Oct. 13, 2006 and Nov. 21, 2006, Newsday reported.
A criminal complaint quoted by the paper says the Quran that was recovered in the October incident "was covered in feces."
According to New York police detective Faisal Khan, Shmulevich said "he committed the acts out of anger toward a group of Muslim students with whom he had a recent disagreement," the paper said.
Shmulevich, a former business major who is no longer at Pace, pleaded guilty Monday to disorderly conduct in connection with the incidents. He has served 80 hours of the 300 hour sentence at a hospital.
Muslims consider the Quran as a sacred text containing the direct word of God. Desecrating it is seen as an offense against God.
