Little Green Footballs received an email from the defendant in the “Koran flushing” case that is making the headlines:
I’ve received an email from Stanislav Shmulevich, who has been arrested in New York for putting a Koran in a toilet at Pace University. And his case is even more outrageous than we first reported.
First, Shmulevich was arrested and jailed for 24 hours. Second, he’s not facing misdemeanor charges—he’s being charged with two felonies, criminal mischief and aggravated harassment.
Felonies. For putting a book in a toilet.
Well, today will be a little day of protest right here at the Anvil. I’ve been sitting on a couple of videos waiting for just the right moment to post them, and I believe the outrage I’m feeling over the fact that an American student has been arrested for a “hate crime” at Pace University, because he had the courage and good sense to flush a Quran in a toilet without apology, will serve as a damn good reason to watch the Quran burn a little:
Cross-posting this from Jihad Watch:
Sharia thoughtcrime comes to the U.S.: a man throws a Qur’an into a toilet, and has now been charged with a “hate crime.” The unindicted co-conspirators of CAIR are, of course, involved.
“Hate-crime arrests in Quran desecrations at Pace University,” from AP (thanks to LGF):
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.
