…but I wanted to pass this along. A reader sent me this news clip.

A German court on Thursday convicted a businessman of insulting Islam by printing the word “Koran” on toilet paper and offering it to mosques.

The 61-year-old man, identified only as Manfred van H., was given a one-year jail sentence, suspended for five years, and ordered to complete 300 hours of community service, a district court in the western German town of Luedinghausen ruled….

Manfred van H. printed out sheets of toilet paper bearing the word “Koran” shortly after a group of Muslims carried out a series of bomb attacks in London in July 2005. He sent the paper to German television stations, magazines and some 15 mosques.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING TABLE OF CONTENTS?!?!

Oh, it's coming back, you whiner. God forbid you should have to look around the paper to find the escort ads.

What? The Quran has a table of contents?!? Do they credit the cover illustrator?

Man, what's with the table of contents junkies? People sure do love them some tables of contentses.

More to the point, though, where's the link to this article you quoted?
