The pictures depict a mess, but even the text does not support the assertion that the bible was used as toilet paper. Had a Christian acted that way in a Mosque, the Muslims would have had a world wide riot...as they just did over a false assertion about the Koran.

And my point was:
A perfect example of why we live in the greatest place on
earth..... and they live in a murderous dictator run hell hole.

The toilet paper incident is here:

The Palestinian gunmen holed up in the Church of the Nativity seized church stockpiles of food and “ate like greedy monsters” until the food ran out, while more than 150 civilians went hungry. They also guzzled beer, wine, and Johnnie Walker scotch that they found in priests’ quarters, undeterred by the Islamic ban on drinking alcohol. The indulgence lasted for about two weeks into the 39-day siege, when the food and drink ran out, according to an account by four Greek Orthodox priests who were trapped inside for the entire ordeal.... The Orthodox priests and a number of civilians have said the gunmen created a regime of fear. Even in the Roman Catholic areas of the complex there was evidence of disregard for religious norms. Catholic priests said that some Bibles were torn up for toilet paper, and many valuable sacramental objects were removed. “Palestinians took candelabra, icons and anything that looked like gold,” said a Franciscan, the Rev. Nicholas Marquez from Mexico.42 http://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp490.htm
