DUBAI--Three Filipino workers who allegedly tore a page of the Muslim holy book the Koran and scribbled on it are being investigated on charges of blasphemy, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
Their employer lodged a complaint with police in the conservative emirate of Sharjah based on a statement by a colleague, the English-language daily The National quoted an official at the Philippines consulate as saying.
The employee said he saw his three colleagues commit the act deemed to be blasphemous in the United Arab Emirates, the paper said.
The three men and seven other workers had been involved in a labour dispute with their employer, which had been resolved by terminating their work permits ahead of their deportation, the consulate official told the newspaper.
Six employees had already been repatriated. But two of the jailed men were arrested when they tried to leave for Manila on March 29, unaware of the complaint which was lodged on March 17, the paper said.
The third was taken into custody when he left his country's consulate, the official said.
The three have not been formally charged.
In 2006 an Abu Dhabi Islamic court sentenced a Filipina housemaid to a month in prison, followed by deportation, after her employer saw her sitting on a copy of the Koran.
She said she had not seen the holy book which had been covered by a blanket, the paper said.
It’s a religion of peace - send this link to everyone you know — it is too brutal for children — but it is real

And the globalist idiots here thought these Dubai asshats should have gotten the ports.
Ah, yes, the UAE, the pinnacle of modernity! Just ask the Bushs or the Clintons, the UAE is our friend....LOL!
Hezzbusatanallah Popeman! They're still here!
Yep, that's a keeper and I WILL be sending it out. Between the illegals spouting on about how "they are going to run things when they take over" and the Islamanazies inevitable uprising we are going to need truckloads of ammo... each.
Hey, maybe we could figure out a way to get them to fight each other?
BTW, everyone needs to be thinking about documenting the upcoming Commie day / illegal alien "march" which will be Thursday, May 1. Get new batteries in those cameras and schedule a vacation day!
The Koran was never based on truth. It has not even one witness to it, and all of it amounts to no more than “hearsay”. Mohammed claimed that Gabriel told him what allah told to him. The Koran could not withstand a court of law.
It is true.
Now, Dubai's government must cut off his hands, and if they want to see the pages that were defiled, I will happily send them to the Emir for his personal examination!
Yes a “vacation day”, then another day for “mental health” ~ you’ll need it having to be around that crowd.
We’re in a fight for this nation from all angles. And I surely hope the majority of American’s aren’t stupid enough to elect a pinko commie to the nation’s highest office. A nation that possesses the largest nuclear arsenal and military in the world. To reduce that office to an “American Idol” contest is beyond silly. It’s reckless beyond all imagination.
As you and I know, in the final analysis, muslims will remian muslims and those that subject themselves to them are beyond foolish.
I’m betting that they will. History has shown that is how the communists get into power.
They promise to give idiots anything they want. Land, free medical and medicine, houses and anything else they desire if they will support them. In some cases fight with arms for them, in other cases vote for them.
Another thing that history has shown is that once the communists gain power they forget about what they promised and start killing and imprisoning those who put them in power.
This is the part that the idiots than enable them to get into power forget.
Never, never ever bet against the stupidity of the American people.
“Never, never ever bet against the stupidity of the American people.”
True. The koolaid drinkers that have bought into the lie that islam is a religion of peace astonish me. Especially after all the world-wide terrorism we saw. But they forget quite quickly, it appears.
Roger that.
Folks like to debate who was actually behind 9-11.
It is not nearly as important as WHAT was behind 9-11.
Shoulda wiped their butts with it.
It's reality! Look at the candies, and tell me it's not reality!
Romney had to drop out BC the networks were gonna back McQueeg until they bankrupted him. How could anyone stand up to an unlimited advertising assault?
Duncan Hunter would have been our best bet!
Duncan was too pro-Israel, too-conservative, and too-anti-illegal immigration to have survived unfortunately.
Not many knew him either. And of course no promotion by Oprah / Hollywood actors.
It’s scary to think that McCain might actually be the last “conservative” (cough cough) we have in that office for a while. Yikes.
But this is the reality we face.
