Muslim activists called on Pace University yesterday to crack down on hate crimes after a second copy of the Koran was found in a toilet at its Manhattan campus.
"This incident meets the legal definition of a hate crime," said Aliya Latif, a member of the Association of Muslim American Lawyers. "Indeed, this is no different from placing a burning cross in front of a house or painting a swastika on a locker."
The discovery of the holy book in a toilet at Pace's lower Manhattan campus on Oct. 13 follows a similar act at Pace on Sept. 21.
Earlier this month, someone scrawled racial slurs on a student's car at the Westchester County campus and on a bathroom wall at the campus in lower Manhattan.
Pace officials had no immediate comment yesterday but have referred the matter to police. NYPD spokesman Detective Kevin Czartoryski said the investigation into the Koran desecrations

This has to stop. It could do serious damage to the plumbing, maybe even cause a flood and wreck the plaster on the next floor down.
How much do you want to bet both were plants to generate false outrage?
hate crime?...with no victim except the toilet in question?...where did this guy get his legal education?..at the Downtown Upstairs Law School?
I'm waiting to find out that a Muslim did it to generate some sympathy...
Yeah, well, that's exactly where it belongs.
I'm sure Aliya Latif would be deeply saddened to know that for the past four years, each September 11th, I've ripped the cover off a koran and burned the pages. Then I cut the cover into the shape of shoe inserts and walk around on them all day. I only do that for one day, because I don't like to have such evil so close to me.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
On a more serious note, I wonder if the book in the toilet had been a Bible would these same people be screaming out loud and crying hate crime? I already know the answer.
P.S. The Manhattan campus of Pace is less than a mile from Ground Zero. Surprised there aren't any muslims stuffed in the toilet along with their 'holy' book!
If a koran in the crapper is a hate crime, what do you call 3000 dead and billions of dollars in property damage? "I just gotta be me"?
Ah. You can't help but love muslim extremism even when they whine. Putting koran in toilet where no one is around is not the same as going onto someone's property and burning a cross or scrawling a swastika on the locker of someone you know to be jewish.
I'm not surprised. People are sick to death of Muzzies. Get them out of America!
Please don't squeeze the Koran.....
Stop Hate Crimes Against Toilets!!!
Hate Crime - people who got beheaded in the name of the religion of peace.
B.S., hate crime would be if someone killed these mooselimbs soeley on the fact that they are mooselimbs.
In this, they give away their true feelings : That the personal, physical integrity of nonmoslems, even nonmoslem lives, are of less value than moslem emotions over seeing their worthless book 'desecrated' (personally, I think the commode was desecrated).
I have to disagree here, since you're not, as far as we know, damaging someone else's property...Except for the toilet perhaps, and that would only occur if a flush were attempted.
How exactly is any of this a crime? Ah well, the libs who were telling us all to chill out over Andres Serrano and piss Christ are now willing to walk on eggshells about Koran brand TP. Once upon a time America understood the concept of "F'em if they can't take a joke". The sooner the "hate crimes" laws go off the books the better.
Yee Haaa, I love it.
Do you mind if I boost this jpg ?
I know right where to send it!!

I just watched United 93. Those passengers had guts and like someone said, they were the first "soldiers" in this WOT. Watching how they depicted those Islamofascists, how they celebrated the hits on the WTC, how they killed the pilot, co-pilot, that passenger and flight attendant made me absolutely disgusted.
I have NO sympathy for Islam. They can call Christians and Jews pigs, apes and this nation is the "Great Satan" but they want to kill anyone who speak against their bloodthirsty "religion"? We shouldn't trust any of them.
That would be called 'artistic freedom' and would have a one month showing at the Met.
This Koran owner shouldn't have blocked someone else's toilet with it, but his use of the Koran was far less destructive than the usual devout Koran owner's use of it.
"This has to stop. It could do serious damage to the plumbing, maybe even cause a flood and wreck the plaster on the next floor down."
On the contrary, concerned Americans should start leaving pages of the holy book in EVERY urinal, every day. Time to show them how we truly feel about their "religion" of hate.
Sure. I googled it so it's really up to whomever hosted it!
No fooling.
When I grew up, it was:
"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt me."
Of course, our self esteem really sucked, (according to today's psychobabblers) and we didn't feel victimized (too stupid I guess) and a bitchin fight behind the bleachers after school fixed stuff......
Sadly you are correct.
Kohler (PBH) or American Standard (PBH) would not be happy.
Anyone have that image of the Vichy Inspector from Casablanca?
It meets the definition of Federally Funded Art. (only if it was a Bible)
Then they would have to agree that when Saudi Arabia confiscates all bibles on people heading into that nation and burns them they are also committing a hate crime?
Hate Crime.
Hate Crime.
Immature, but harmless college prank.
Was it a copy with perforations?
I hope this starts countless korans in the toilets of the world.
I am particularly disturbed at people showing hate to toilets like this. How disresepctful.
And think of the poor sewer and sanitation workers, having to see something like a koran.
And a rat may see a koran too. The poor animals!
"I hope this starts countless korans in the toilets of the world."
We could call it "The Koran Movement."
<< How much do you want to bet both were plants to generate false outrage? >>
Quite likely to create the appearance of rationalization and justification among the gullible.
Although in fact islamanazi outrage has sustained itself for fourteen hundred years so far without external stimuli.
Thanks...that says it all. I am so tired of whining, if they don't like it here then leave. I see no big deal in this except the one that they are making. So what if their Koran is in the toilet, I am sure they are doing the same to the bible. They are burning effigies of President Bush and the Pope but that is not a hate crime?
And would the AP refer to it as "the holy book?" Indeed, we already know the answer.
LOL
That would be the waste of a perfectly good Koran unless it was properly crapped on.
We should deport all of them to their sandbox by the sea. They are entitled to that.
I believe that it will come to that, unless we stand around waiting for the mudslimes to breed into the majority.
Right out of the CAIR handbook..
It's proper place would be adjacent to the toilet, so one page at a time could utilized..
Gee, whiz! One of the reasons I know we have to beat these b--turds. These animals are so ignorant they failed to learn there were such things as printing presses. Willing to bet there have been millions of Bibles burned over the centuries. We just printed more since we're not stupid!!!
