Satan’s book in minion blood. Feed it to swine and make BLT sandwiches.

In a civilized society, this would be a no-brainer.

“It was wrong to do what he did, to write it in blood,” says Sheikh Samarrai. “It is haraam [forbidden].”
Islam writes about itself in the blood of innocents almost every day. Bombings, beheadings, those should be forbidden.

They will respectfully keep it in a spider-hole under the mosque.

Pass the popcorn. There ought to be an entertaining show before they come up with a solution to
this one. And
somebody ain't gonna be too happy with the final outcome.
Props to cripplecreek for the graphics!

Written in blood? And they say it`s a modern mainstream religion! Any religion that, in this day and age, would willingly copy a core document in human blood has issues, that`s sounds more suitable for a pact with the devil.

Isn’t it already defiled, since it is in the blood of a thug who killed many muzzies?

But who would eat such tainted meat?And why poison the poor swine,I mean, what did they do to you? I figure that's why God made swine. To eat the most putrid of slop and turn it into sheer yummyness. :)

Islam is an utterly legalistic framework with practically no provision for the exercise of common sense. This makes them very prone to be caught in a catch-22 logic trap.
It is haraam to write a koran in blood, and it is haraam to destroy any koran.
Good luck with that one, fellas...

Shia-led regime remains sensitive about relics
Might I suggest getting rid of the Shia-led regime, as a prelude to getting rid of the Shia, which is itself a step on the road to getting rid of Islam?

You know... on reflection... rather than destroying it, I think maybe the best play is to turn it over to the national Iraqi museum. It doesn’t need to be on display (yet) but it should be preserved as a unique historical artifact that is emblematic of a time in their history.
Like some similar (if even possible) artifact from Hitler in Germany. Sometimes, detestable things should be preserved and their lessons not forgotten.
