Manager who accidently threw copies of Quran in trash flees Bahrain
Gulf News ^ | 4/3/2006 | MOHAMMED AL A'ALI

A EUROPEAN manager at a major restaurant who allegedly desecrated the Holy Quran has fled the country, it was revealed yesterday.

A lawsuit against the manager has been filed by MP Mohammed Khalid Mohammed at the Public Prosecutor, which issued a warrant for his arrest.

The employer told the GDN last week that the man was sacked on the spot because of the offence caused when he threw translations from the Quran into a waste bin in front of Muslim colleagues.

The manager disposed of copies of translations from the Quran by mistake that were distributed by Discover Islam during the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix and left on one of the desks by some customers.

He admitted being guilty, but he said it was unintentional.

Shaikh Mohammed said that Interpol should bring the manager to justice like any other criminal.

"I don't care where this manager is, the only thing that matters is for him to be brought back to the country to face the punishment he deserves," he said.

"This is a serious matter and the government shouldn't rest until this man is punished.

"He should have been arrested a long time ago, but everyone knows about the bureaucracy in this country.

"This person has made a mockery of Muslims and Islam and should get the severest punishment possible, but first he should be brought back.

"I am very angry and I will not breathe a sigh of relief until he is behind bars."

MPs are calling for a parliamentary probe and Al Menbar Bloc reported the incident to the Public Prosecutor.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Bloc has called for an extra-ordinary session of parliament to discuss the issue.

The Islamic Bloc has already drafted a proposal for MPs to sign, which will then be submitted to parliament's general-secretariat office.

Fifteen of 40 MPs are required to agree to hold the session before it can take place. Thirteen had signed by yesterday

Doesn't take much to make a mockery of Islam.

They do appear to have differing standards, being the Headquarters for the Fifth Fleet and all . . . .

Wise move.

It will be harder to do once they take over france and Germany.

Hey Bahrain...the Danish flag has the Cross on it. Any comments on Muslims burning that flag? Didn't think so, you filthy hypocrites.

even "my bad" in rag head.

It would be redundant to anything that spews out of the mouths of Islamunists.
