So here is my advice to Stanislav: Go back and take a photo of the Koran swimming in the toilet and call it "Holy Shit Mohammed" and frame it. Then at least you have the Supreme Court ruling of Miller v. California (1973) to keep the cops off your back. By calling it art, at least your attempt to express your feelings will be protected by the First Amendment.

Related to those two toilet incidents, it is informative to recall that when the Jewish campus group Hillel Pace tried to have the anti-terror documentary, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," shown on campus, Pace administration officials threatened and intimidated Hillel members into cancelling it after Muslim students objected to it. Here's the way the threat was phrased:

Israel News,
21 Apr 2007,
Anti-terror film unmuzzled at PACE university

a dean gestured toward the two Hillel students at the meeting and threatened them that if they went ahead and showed the film, the police might begin to look into their personal records. (There had been several hate incidents on campus, including some that involved the Koran, and the implication was that the Hillel students might be considered suspects). Because of these threats, Hillel did not show the film on November 16, 2006.

Eventually the documentary was screened on 18 Apr 2007, but only after the Zionist Organization of America got involved.

Obviously it is no desecration to allow dirty water to run down a Koran:
Koran verses get washed down from the wooden board to be drunk by marabout's patients.

Marabout is traditional muslim healer, holy man , and helps not only with your health problems, but for example with success in business. You have to describe your problem and marabout will prepare a set of spells and write them down with suitable verses from Koran on a wooden board, which gets washed afterwards and the patient is given the dirty water with ink to drink. There is many marabouts like this in Mirriah, town in eastern Niger, where islam had to incorporate traditional practices in order to gain popularity.

Woman Honor Thyself,
SupporT Stanislav Shmulevich’s RightS

You may piss in a jar with a crucifix, exhibit elephant dung on the Virgin Mary,burn an American flag, march in public with the kkk and nazis, Muzlims may hold rallies threatening, howling and holding placards saying "Kill the Pope” and "Death to America.”
Yup. That’s freedom of expression.

But Stanislav was ahem…”harassing”?

On the double-standard:

Right Wing Nuthouse,
WHOSE FREEDOM? WHAT IS SPEECH?

The crucifix in urine is but one example of the outrageous anti-Christian "art” that has been shown over the last decade or so. What was the "intent” of the artist in creating such a display? Nothing less than to knowingly inflict emotional pain on those who believe in Christ as God. Artistic expression is rightly protected under the first amendment. But if we are going to use the standard of a Koran in the toilet provoking the exact same reaction among Muslims as the crucifix in urine did to Christians, why does one form of expression get a pass and the other doesn’t?

Isn’t this what the first amendment was created to protect? It doesn’t matter that your idea of free speech is different than mine. The first amendment guarantee is that all speech (with very limited exceptions) – yours, mine, and Mr. Shmulevich – is protected regardless of its affect on others.

Moonbattery - Find the Felony, Excerpt: The purpose of dhimmitude is to subject us infidels to lives of shameful subservience. It's working.

Here's an item some papers are leaving out:

Riehl World View,
Crime, Yes, Hate, No

Stanislav Shmulevich, 23, was confronted by detectives with a surveillance photo of himself leaving a Pace meditation room where the Muslim holy books were stored, police sources said.

He made "admitting statements" after seeing the photograph, a source said.

I still do not know what the "crime" is. It is no crime to take Holy Books; it is a well-known fact that one can take the Bible from any hotel room. If you go into any Jewish Community Center and see a number of Torahs on a desk, you are free to take one. I'm sure there are quite a number of Korans in the Muslim Center and I doubt anyone thinks it a crime to take one. Certainly the only place where this assumption breaks down is in a bookstore. So again, what is the crime? Was the toilet stopped up? Did water overflow? Was there any damage? Pace University certainly has a lot to answer for their dhimmitude.

Slate,
Christopher Hitchens,
Why are we so scared of offending Muslims?

The Pace University incident becomes even more ludicrous and sinister when it is recalled that Islamists are the current leaders in the global book-burning competition. After the rumor of a Quran down the toilet in Guantanamo was irresponsibly spread, a mob in Afghanistan burned down an ancient library that (as President Hamid Karzai pointed out dryly) contained several ancient copies of the same book. Not content with igniting copies of The Satanic Verses, Islamist lynch parties demanded the burning of its author as well. Many distinguished authors, Muslim and non-Muslim, are dead or in hiding because of the words they have put on pages concerning the unbelievable claims of Islam. And it is to appease such a spirit of persecution and intolerance that a student in New York City has been arrested for an expression, however vulgar, of an opinion.

This has to stop, and it has to stop right now. There can be no concession to sharia in the United States.

My previous article on the Koran:
Who Cares about the Koran?

Here's what my family uses for toilet paper in our home.
So, Farooq, if you are offended by your holy words written on toilet paper, let me share something with you; I am equally offended that I have to wipe my ass with your Koranic insults:

"Muhammad said in his Hadith: ’The Hour [of Resurrection] will not arrive until you fight the Jews and the rock and the tree will say: O Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!’

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I host Open Trackback parties. This allows bloggers who have interesting posts to share them with my readers and therefore, presumably, a wider audience. My normal rules for linking, Bernie's 8 Rules, are suspended. That is, there is no set topic and as long as the post is not a splog entry, you can link whatever you like especially if it is offensive to Islam. Nothing linked here indicates that I either agree with or support or even like the opinions being expressed. But these bloggers generously host some of my insane, disgusting writings and I hope to repay them with this courtesy.
