OMG give me a F***ing break. I'm getting so tired of the BS about

people harming the Qu'ran. I just heard on the news (I'll see if I can find a site), that a muslim woman ordered a Qu'ran from Amazon.com, and when she received it, it had scribbles of insults throughout. Does anyone else see a pattern here or is it just me?

Amazon is investigating and they are no longer going to allow the book supplier to take any of their orders again.

So this one woman claims this happened . . . the smaller book store uses its business with Amazon.com . . . and now Amazon is investigating it.

The woman and muslim leaders are demanding an apology from Amazon.

Does anyone think the woman may have LIED????

2. Yeah, she's probably lying.

Moreover, who fuckin' cares? File a complaint, return the product, and STFU. People sell bad merchandise all the time... it's no cause for a federal case, geez.

None of this crap is even newsworthy, IMO... I wanna see stuff about the Downing Street Memo!

3. I think they should turn the executives at Amazon over

to the Shia for some down home islamic justice - public caning followed by simultaneous beheading and stoning.

ARGH!

no wonder I despise most religion - don't get me started on the other fundie ones.

4. She should be happy - at least there wasn't a finger in it

And yes people, I'm kidding.

I do find this to be a bit suspicious though. Need more facts before making a judgement.

5. Ummm, yesterdays news.

Amazon already apologized, as did the bookseller. The bookseller is still doing business with Amazon, but can no longer sell the Koran via the service.

Considering the anti-Muslim sentiment in this country at the moment, I'm more likely to believe her than not.
