The Qur'an should not be burned. It should be read. But this is a question of whether Britain will preserve the principle of the freedom of expression, or implement Sharia norms regarding reverence for the holy book of Islam. This is an example of the latter. “Girl, 15, arrested over 'Facebook Koran burning video,'” from the BBC, November 25: A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after allegedly burning an English language version of the Koran. The 15-year-old, who lives in the West Midlands, allegedly posted the video, filmed two weeks ago on her school premises, on Facebook. The video was reported to the school and subsequently removed, police said. A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of making threats. Both have been released on police bail. It is thought the girl, who lives in the Sandwell Council area, was allegedly filmed setting the booklet alight while other pupils watched. Two Facebook profiles have also been removed from the site, police added. It is understood that the group who published that version of the Koran have since been to the school to talk to pupils…. Well, that's a relief. added by: crystalman
