Afghanistan: Demonstrators riot, partially destroy paper mill that recycled Qur'ans into toilet paper -- three paper mill employees arrested


So what is a pious Muslim supposed to do with his worn-out copy of the Qur'an? Traditionally these have been burned, but that is a highly charged practice these days. And obviously you can't give them to the paper mill to be recycled. "Three Afghans held for disrespecting Qur’an," from the Gulf Times, April 19 (thanks to Twostellas):


Three people have been arrested as officials probe claims that a paper mill in Afghanistan recycled copies of the Holy Qur’an into toilet paper, the attorney general’s office said yesterday. Around 1,000 angry demonstrators, some throwing stones, held a protest on Monday at the mill on the outskirts of Kabul, leaving the building partially destroyed.

Copies of the Qur’an were found inside the factory, Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai said, adding that no-one was injured in the protest. “The attorney general’s office and Kabul police have jointly tasked a delegation to investigate the alleged disrespect to our holy book in that factory,” a spokesman said.
