State organizations in Saudi Arabia have desecrated the Holy Qur’an by discarding over fifty copies in Taif city’s street sewerage canals.
According to a Saudi official in the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the incident was reported by a local student, who saw the holy books on his way home in Al-Salama district of Taif.
The service company that specializes in opening drainage inlets was then called, and dozens of copies of the Quran were retrieved.
A photo that shows desecrated books has now gone viral on the internet and social media websites (above).
This is not the first time the Holy Quran has been desecrated in Saudi Arabia. Earlier this year, the move by prison officials in Al-Haer province to insult the Holy Book led to protests in different parts of the Kingdom.

Had this happened in India, there would have been rioting. Had it happened in Pakistan, there would have been a court-ordered execution or an assassination.

May be true, but what is necessity to publish this news here? What is the benefit one might get in this? Why should one care about what is happening in Saudi Arabia? We, in India, have plenty of our own problems, let’s concentrate on those. Please, do not waste your time and space of this best blog for such irrelevant news.
