Alan Colmes On 'The Case of the Flushed Koran (Video)'

Topics: Understanding Islam

Here's Alan Colmes discussing with Melanie Morgan the case of Stanislav Shmulevich, charged with felony hate crimes and facing prison time for putting a Koran in a toilet:

As Robert Spencer explains at FrontPage Magazine, Shmulevich, was arrested Friday and charged with two felony counts of Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree as a Hate Crime:

Numerous analysts have been quick to recognize the cruel irony of these charges. Mark Steyn quipped that instead of flushing the Qur'an, "obviously Mr Shmulevich should have submerged it in his own urine, applied for an NEA grant and offered it to the Whitney Biennial. But to that Michelle Malkin responded with the grim truth: "Actually, no. The NEA would have turned Shmulevich in to the police, too. Now, if he had submerged a Bible in urine or coated a Torah in cow dung and submitted it for a federal grant, he'd be sitting pretty-and facing rave New York Times editorials instead of time behind bars."

And that's why, as Christopher Hitchens said, "This has to stop, and it has to stop right now.

And yes, CAIR is involved - as you'd expect, trying once again to intimidate Americans into following sharia: Flushed Korans and Protected Victims
