The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called on Americans to read the Koran to show that "bigots do not represent our nation's values" — this after a shopping bag filled with a burnt copy of the Koran and other scorched Arab writings was found outside a mosque in Blacksburg, Virginia last month.
The American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee called it a hate crime, insisting, "books don't burn themselves and end up outside of a mosque."
Indeed they don't. Usually they go up in flames when jihadi terrorists blow up mosques. But I digress. This story continues:
But it turns out the bag came from a Muslim student at Virginia Tech, who was hoping the Koran, burned in a house fire last year, could be given a respectful disposal. The student, who called police last week , said he left a note with the shopping bag, but it apparently blew away.
Funny this didn't seem to make it above the fold or into the major news. How many people still hold this as proof of our equal guilt to the murderers out there? The real story just blew away in the wind.
And as an aside, why is CAIR calling for further defiling of the Koran? If non-Moslem Americans did read the Koran as they advocate, I'm sure that CAIR would then complain that all of us defiled the Koran by letting our infidel hands touch their holy book--you know, like they complain happened at Gitmo?
