Why I don't have a problem with the Qur'an being thrown in a toilet

I'm not a Muslim and the text is no more sacred to me than a copy of Gone With the Wind. It doesn't ruffle my feathers like Piss Christ didn't ruffle my feathers because I am not a Christian and a guy nailed to a cross is no more sacred to me than a fat dude sitting in the lotus position laughing.



What's most sacred to me is reporting the truth, and since this incident had been reported multiple times over more than two years, Newsweek being pushed to back down on reporting the truth is the REAL sacrilege if you ask me.
