Aussie Muslim Boys Destroy Bible, Christian Riots Don't Ensue

In a story that's been completely ignored by the mainstream media, two Muslim students have been expelled from an Islamic school in Australia for urinating and spitting on a Bible and then setting it on fire. Upon hearing the news, tens of thousands of evangelical Christians stormed the U.S. Capitol, while a torch-wielding mob of Catholics converged on the Vatican--where the Pope led them in chants of "Death to Islam!" From Seattle to Sydney, mosques were burned to the ground, and Muslim women and children were forced to flee their homes with nothing but the clothes on their back.

Of course, the above scenario couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, there's been nary a word of protest over this Bible-desecration incident in Australia or anywhere else in the Christian world. Compare this to the violent, venomous Muslim reaction to any number of supposed "outrages" against Islam --including cartoons of Mohammed, comments by the Pope or Korans being flushed--and it's clear which side is on the offensive in the clash of civilizations. Here's more, from news.com.au:

Two Muslim students have been expelled from an Islamic school in Melbourne for urinating and spitting on a Bible and setting it on fire.

The explosive incident has forced the East Preston Islamic College to call in a senior imam to tell its 650 Muslim students that the Bible and Christianity must be respected.

Anxious teachers at the school have also petitioned principal Shaheem Doutie, expressing "grave concern" about an "inculcation of hatred and radical attitudes towards non-Muslims" at the school, including towards non-Muslim teachers.

The Bible desecration took place last week at a school camp held near Bacchus Marsh, about 50km west of Melbourne, attended by 33 teenage Muslim boys ranging in age from Year7 to Year 10.

A school report of the incident, obtained by The Australian, says it happened late at night and involved three students and another two watching.

"The main perpetrator (a Year 7 student) urinated on the Holy Bible, tore some pages from the Holy Book and burnt them then finally spat on the Holy Book," the report says.

The second boy, from Year 9, "tore pages from the Holy Book and burnt them", while a third student, from Year 7, "tore pages from the Holy Bible and then he rolled it up like a cigarette and pretended to smoke it".

The boys come from a variety of ethnic Muslim backgrounds - one is believed to be an Albanian/Malaysian, another Lebanese and another Indonesian.

Ah, the joys of multiculturalism. I wonder where these saucy young blokes learned such hatred? At home? At the mosque? Does anyone even care enough to investigate?
