Christian Children Arrested for Urinating on a Koran

Two Coptic Christian children aged nine and 10 have been arrested and taken into police custody in Egypt, after allegedly urinating on pages of the Koran.

Mina Nady Farag and Nabil Nady Rizk were reportedly spotted by residents of the village of Ezbet Marco in the southern province of Beni Suef, while defacing two pages of Islam's holy book beside a local mosque.

The local Imam Sheikh Ibrahim Mohamed brought the children to the Coptic church and asked the priest to punish them, according to local media.

As his request was turned down, Mohamed handed them to the police to be prosecuted for contempt of religion.

Reports suggest the police station was soon surrounded by a crowd of angry residents demanding justice be dispensed, as it was believed the children's act had been planned by the Coptic community to incite religious hatred.

Well, that is better than urinating on the Bible! The Bible is based on love, the Koran is based on hate!

  Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 )

There have been so many similar accusations falsely charged against our military, I find it hard to believe the children actually did this. Especially since the Coptic church is already being severely persecuted in Egypt since the "Arab Spring."

  If this is true, children should tot be taught to do acts of hate, where ever or what ever is involved with. This is the type of thing that the Muslims teach their children, not Christians. In GOD'S WORD there is information about books being burned that were not what GODLY people accepted but there was organization about it, not what is supposed to be, innocent children, being involved.

    There is no need to go out of our way to offend islam or muslims, we do that just by breathing. I never try to offend anyone, but I'm going to continue living and speaking the Word of God no matter whom it offends. If God can't protect me then I don't need protection.

      There a lot of ugly things like this done by people who only claim to be Christian. To either teach our children or allow them to commit such acts is wrong. This is displaying hate, not love, which JESUS CHRIST TEACHES.
      
      Matt 5. 43-44
      43. You have heard that it has been said, Thou shall love thy neighbor and hate your enemy.
      44. But I say unto you,"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

        I agree, but love means staying true even when it offends.

    Your innocent children have been sent into crowds strapped with bombs..
    Most people are sick of these kinds of demands on others to not do this or not say that.. or do not mention some name.. I want to say to all of you intolerant, violent extremists.. "Grow a thicker skin and leave your violence at the mosque door. " Your violent murdering, beheading of innocent people is inhuman and does not belong in civil society.
    Get your facts straight …Christians do not teach their children to be disrespectful of others. We have taught TOLERANCE to the point that our own Christain symbols have been defaced and brought down. But our God is mightier than the people who try to destroy us. In the end, the one and only GOD will stand and His Kingdom will rule .Nothing on this earth will matter unless it is His will.

      These innocent children were not the children that was peeing on the Koran, but even they, I feel sure, did not know they were going out to die for a false cause. A complete different set of "innocent" children. My heart aches for these children who are going out with bombs strapped to them maybe not even knowing, having no idea, they were going to be blown to pieces.

Taqiya is a central tenet of Islam, and has been used many times as an excuse to start riots (and other crimes). And if guilty, the children did right to wee on Satan's own "revealed" book (the Bible proves that "allah" is Satan in Isaiah 14:14 and several other places — of course these truths to the goonda-founded cult are like a reflective cross coated with garlic-oil to a vampire).

I guess this means I ought to take the koran out of the outhouse. Well, it's getting low on pages anyway.

Just more lies by muslims to persecute them because they are Christians.

Stupid muslin's acting up again.

HOW TOTALLY STUPID … Even if the kids did this, which I do not believe, then let their parents punish them.

Every day it is another TOTALLY STUPID story about some one stepping on a Muslim toe.
GET OVER YOURSELVES and leave the world alone, you intolerant, disturbed, immature people.

  Some 600 years ago, some schisms of Christianity were like this. Before that we had Crusades (christian versions of jihad) followed by the Inquisition. Seeing that Islam started in the 600s AD, they're going through the same 'teething pains' that Christianity seems to have already left in their past. Maybe our 25th generation descendants will see Islam grow up and behave – if the world lasts that long!

Have these idiots never heard of a wonderful Chinese invention called the printing press? Copies of religious core texts in paper form are NOT rare or expensive! They should get a life and cease being so anal! If someone 'defaces' a copy, toss it and buy another. Don't get mad if someone destroys an already damaged copy, they are probably replacing it with a new one. What a bunch of warmongering lunatics!
