When an Islamic Community Backpeddles...furiously.

Follow the story closely here:

1. Defaced Koran angers Nashville Muslims
Police investigating possible hate crime. A Muslim holy book was found yesterday covered with flies, with a torn-out page mashed into what appeared to be feces and burned around the edges. The Koran was discovered on a doorstep about noon by an Islamic man who lives nearby in the LeNore Garden Apartments complex. He was walking to his home in the community, largely populated by Islamic immigrants from Somalia. A neighbor told police the book had been on the steps since at least 5 p.m. Tuesday.

2. Islamic leaders disturbed by delayed police response.
Islamic leaders said they notified police six times yesterday before officers arrived at the site of a Koran desecration. Police said the delay was due to an unforeseen number of higher-priority calls, including a burglary and a fight involving an officer.

3. Student Says Quran Burning Was an Accident
A Muslim Virginia Tech student says he was the person who left a burned Quran at a local mosque last month, saying it had been damaged in a fire and he hoped it could be given a respectful disposal. Police initially had said the case was being investigated as an anti-Muslim hate crime. The student contacted police last week, saying he was going to be traveling abroad and didn't know what to do with the Quran, which had been burned in a 2004 house fire, police Lt. Bruce Bradberry said Tuesday.

And now every thing is fine and dandy with the Islamic community praising the "friendly and supporting neighborhood".

"There is nothing better than knowing that Blacksburg is what we expect it to be - a caring, friendly and supporting neighborhood," Riad (Islamic Director) told the Roanoke Times.

But a month ago CAIR was frothing at the mouths about all this...

Laila Al-Qatami, a spokeswoman for the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday questioned how police could consider the act anything other than a hate crime.

You see, they scream bloody murder a la "the sky is falling" and demanded from police that they respond to their "crime scene" first above all else, even if police has to respond to a homicide or a burglary call. And while with their feet in their mouths, they find out how the burned koran book got there in the first place and starts to praise their community, of which the police is also a part of.

Excuse me, let me gag for a moment here.
