Hate-crime arrests in Quran desecrations at Pace University

8:33 PM EDT, July 27, 2007 'NEW YORK (AP) _ 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, police said.

Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment, both hate crimes, police said. It was unclear if he was a student at the school. A message left at the Shmulevich home was not immediately returned.

The Islamic holy book was found in a toilet at Pace's lower Manhattan campus by a teacher on Oct. 13. A student discovered another book in a toilet on Nov. 21, police said.




Muslim activists had called on Pace University to crack down on hate crimes after the incidents. As a result, the university said it would offer sensitivity training to its students.

The school was accused by Muslim students of not taking the incident seriously enough at first. Pace classified the first desecration of the holy book as an act of vandalism, but university officials later reversed themselves and referred the incident to the New York Police Department's hate crimes unit.

The incidents came amid a spate of vandalism cases with religious or racial overtones at the school. In an earlier incident on Sept. 21, the school reported another copy of the Quran was found in a library toilet, and in October someone scrawled racial slurs on a student's car at the Westchester County satellite campus and on a bathroom wall at the campus in lower Manhattan. Police did not connect Shmulevich to those incidents.

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. The religion teaches that the Quran is the direct word of God.

Con:

So you can submerge the crucifix in urine and cover the Virgin Mary in elephant dung and that is art. You can burn the American flag. And yet it is a hate crime now to destroy the Koran?

*"Muslim activists had called on Pace University to crack down on hate crimes after the incidents. As a result, the university said it would offer sensitivity training to its students."*

What that means is that they will force the students to take a ridiculous, asinine trianing class that wastes everyone's time and money and once again, reiterates to everyone that the "White Man" is the Great Satan. We all know it. And don't you people notice, as I'm sure most of you have had to mandatorily take this classes, that these diversity and sensitivity training classes are not geared towards Muslims, ILLEGALS, Blacks, etc. being sensitivity to any White people, it's always telling the White people to behave and censor themselves. Because we all know that everyone's allowed to say whatever they want to a White person, just not the other way around.

Coddling of the so-called minorites, it's the American way.

Time for a fucking revolution.
Outlaw Diversity and Sensitivity Training. Outlaw discriminatory Hate Crime laws. Outlaw Affirmative Action. Outlaw quotas. Outlaw coddling and free handouts to ILLEGALS and so-called minorities.

It's a huge crock of boiling shit is what it is. If I were a student there I'd protest their bullshit sensitivity courses. Bastards.
