Brooklyn, NY - Man Accused of Throwing Quran in Toilet
Yisrael:
Brooklyn, NY - 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.
Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment, both hate crimes. It's unclear if he was a student at the school.
Police say the Islamic book was found in a toilet at Pace's lower Manhattan campus by a teacher. A student found another book in a toilet.
The incidents came amid a spate of vandalism at Pace University, 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. Police didn't link Shmulevich to those crimes.
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.
Pace University has 14,000 students on its campuses in New York City and Westchester County. [1010 Wins]
Shoshana:
What sort of name is that? Russian?
newman:
This should be challenged in the Supreme Court. If the koran was his property, it's his business what he does with it.
If flag burning is protected under the 1st ammendment, why isn't koran flushing?
Yisrael:
Being Anti-America is really patriotic according to Hillary.
Being Anti-Islam is anti-Peace, anti-Open Minded.

They should still see what the supreme court says. And where is the ACLU on this?
