| Prisoners say Israeli guards defiled Koran |
| 2005-06-08 |
| TEL AVIV, Israel, June 8 (UPI) -- Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli prison observed a one-day hunger strike Wednesday to protest the alleged desecration of the Koran by Israeli prison guards. The prisoners in Majido prison accused several guards of tearing up and stepping on a copy of the Muslim sacred book during an inspection of their cells Tuesday. They are demanding that the offenders be punished. An Arab member of the Israeli Knesset, Mohammed Baraka, told UPI he visited the prison late Tuesday night and met with a representative of the prisoners, who showed him a torn copy of the Koran. "The prisoners did not accuse the prison authority of desecrating the holy book but only a few guards, and they have decided to go on a hunger strike Wednesday to press for the trial and punishment of the offenders," Baraka said. He rejected Israel's claims that the incident was fabricated by the prisoners. In Beirut, a Hamas statement faxed to UPI offices denounced the reported desecration and vowed to avenge Israeli provocations against Muslims. |

| #8 Simple solution is that if the presense of the koran in a jail cell presents a security hazard, they need to be removed from the cells. Give them access to photcopies if the wardens in a good mood. Hey, all you good muslims out there, these guys are making you look like idiots. Curb your trash. |

| #5 I'd like to desecrate my Koran on a T-shirt, but there are still blasphemy laws on the books in Australia and the Islamofascist brigade are just the type to sue. If you broadcast something to even 2 people on a T-shirt, that counts as broadcasting same as a newspaper and you can be sued for defamation here. It sucks . Wish we had a bill of rights and free speech like the USA. So I guess I'll just have to Poop on my Koran in the privacy of my own home! :) |

| #1 I sincerely hope so. In addition, I hope the guards swirled the koran in the toilet, dipped the pages in alcohol, rolled it up, shoved it up Palis' rears and set it on fire. Thanks CAIR for the endless supply of free toilet paper. I hope to get extemely creative with the desecration. |
