Man Arrested For Throwing Koran In The Toilet

But this didn’t happen in Iran or Syria.  This happened at Pace University in New York.  They’re calling it a “hate crime,” but really it’s a thought crime.

NEW YORK (AP) _ A 23-year-old man was arrested Friday on hate-crime charges after he threw a Quran in a toilet at Pace University on two separate occasions, police said.

Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment, both hate crimes, police said. It was unclear if he was a student at the school. A message left at the Shmulevich home was not immediately returned.

The Islamic holy book was found in a toilet at Pace’s lower Manhattan campus by a teacher on Oct. 13. A student discovered another book in a toilet on Nov. 21, police said.

Muslim activists had called on Pace University to crack down on hate crimes after the incidents. As a result, the university said it would offer sensitivity training to its students.

The school was accused by Muslim students of not taking the incident seriously enough at first. Pace classified the first desecration of the holy book as an act of vandalism, but university officials later reversed themselves and referred the incident to the New York Police Department’s hate crimes unit.

This is the problem with “hate crimes.” “Hate,” while not a good thing, is not a crime.  Mugging someone is a crime.  Mugging someone because that person is of a race you despise does not make that mugging a more or less serious crime.

A Ku Klux Klan march is a display of hatred, pure and simple.  And yet we allow those marches all the time.  As well we should.  As objectionable as they are, it’s free speech.

The same applies to this situation.  What this kid did was vandalism.  That he did it out of apparent hatred toward Muslims, or at the very least a desire to insult them, is irrelevant.  He is guilty of making a nuisance of himself, nothing more.  That he’s now being prosecuted as though this were a major crime is travesty, and a black mark on this country.

Hate crimes (in NY anyway) require a victim. Which was the victim, the toilet or the book?

Were these library books or were they his personal copies to do with as he wished?  I believe that the only “crime” you could accuse him of is clogging the crapper (obstruction of justice).

hvywgt on July 28, 2007 at 04:26 pm

Pace University has no records of any previous hate crimes occurring

Could the lack of any hate crime records have anything to do with the fact that no one made a fuss over such juvenile behavior or at the very most they went on the monetary value of the loss?
Where will they draw the line as to what constitutes hate crime? If someone assaults their spouse’s gay lover, or bi or 20 years younger mistress ( you get my point) is that a hate crime? What if I finally lose it when the boys in suits knock at my door and I throw their hand full of religious literature to the ground, can I be charged for a hate crime?
Seems to me most misbehavior or crimes are committed for some reason of hate.

Hate crime in NY requires the commission of crimes (such as criminal mischief or aggravated harassment, as is the case here) along with the targetting of the victim based on a number of factors (religion here).

It doesn’t seem like a specific person was targetted here (which also happens to a necessary element for aggravated harassment). For criminal mischief, the accused has to intentionally destroy another’s property. So this will pretty much turn on whether or not that Koran belonged to someone else. If it didn’t, then the prosecutor is trying this case for purely political reasons, which is disgusting.

Of all the nit-picky… what a waste of taxpayer time. Even so, the defendant was probably one of those kids who just HAD to touch the burner to see if his hand really would get burnt. I think that dude needs a part-time job.

MentalHygiene on July 28, 2007 at 05:53 pm

Heavy, you dawg! You beat me to it. If these Qur’ans belonged to Mr Shmulevich(and spellcheck is going crazy over that name) then he can do with them as he pleases. Unless there is a local ordinance against placing printed materials in toilets in those locales. Then he should pay the $35 fine and get a stern talking to about properly desecrating Islamic holy works.

What the hell are they teaching kids these days?!?!?!?

As I recall, spark, that work of “art” was funded with Federal Tax dollars, displayed in a public, tax payer funded museum, and vigorously defended as 1st Amendment protected free speech by the ACLU. All this guy has to do is say it is art.

So lets us make a statue of Mohammad, holding the Qur’an, out of pig shit. See how much Federal Endowment for the Arts money we can get. And how fast the ACLU beats a path to our door to defend our right to do so.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with people burning flags or desecrating bibles.  As long as my tax dollars aren’t funding it as “art” and they aren’t infringing on the rights of others (such as impeding traffic, trespassing, etc.) I say let them do it.

I should add, my point wasn’t that Syria has a great government, it was that Syria is not a fundamentalist Islamic country. That is true. Is it a dictatorship, sure, but it isn’t a Islamic dictatorship. It is actually quite tolerant when it comes to religion.

Rodney Graves beat me to the punch on this one but his point is worth repeating....

The guy should have called it art and there’s no way he could be charged. After all, if a crucifix in a jar of urine (I think it was the psuedo artist Maplethorpe who came up with that one)is protected as freedom of expression why wouldn’t a piece that displays a koran in the crapper?

It’s hard to tell who’s the liberal and who’s the conservative anymore.

To interpret the right to free speech as enabling a hate organization like the KKK is a pretty liberal interpretation.

The rights to free speech and freedom of the press were intended to give Americans the right to speak out and write when they didn’t agree with what the government was doing.

They were not intended to give anyone the right to insult their neighbors, use obscene or disrespectful language, incie a riot, publish pornography, burn the American flag, or spew venom about any group of people. The intent of the Constitution is to give the majority of the Citizens the power while protecting the rights of the few and the weak.

Any other interpretation is a contrived liberal interpretation and is the reason we have so many social problems today. The KKK is a blatant example of this.

The other right not mentioned is freedom of religion. Anyone who would throw a Koran or Bible into a toilet is not an American.

Respect your freedom or lose it.

ews48 on July 29, 2007 at 07:25 am

It’s hard to tell who’s the liberal and who’s the conservative anymore. Actually, it isn’t.  Those who support and defend individual independence, as described in the US Constitution, are the Conservatives.  Those who would impose collectivist schemes on everyone are the “liberals"(lefties).

To interpret the right to free speech as enabling a hate organization like the KKK is a pretty liberal interpretation.  Burning the US flag is pretty hateful, don’t you think?  If we allow that, why not the KKK?  Or is your “freedom” just for lefties?

“Liberal” or literal? It looks to be a literal interpretation.

How do you know?

The intent of the Constitution is to give the majority of the Citizens the power while protecting the rights of the few and the weak.

Since when? Where do you see the protections of “the rights of the few and the weak”? I don’t see anything in the U.S. Constitution giving special protection to any such groups of people.

Any other interpretation is a contrived liberal interpretation and is the reason we have so many social problems today. The KKK is a blatant example of this.

The other right not mentioned is freedom of religion. Anyone who would throw a Koran or Bible into a toilet is not an American.

So the KKK is out of bounds, but we are to respect Islam. That makes no sense.

Respect your freedom or lose it.

What a bold claim. Who made you the determiner of what is acceptable freedom?

likwidshoe on July 29, 2007 at 07:35 am

Wow! This is another one of those “crimes” that don’t really deserve the title of “crime”. Especially anywhere in the USA. Does this not fall under freedom of religion ??? It is a crime that anyone would make this into a crime. Islamic jihadists have attacked our country. It seems appropriate to want to throw the Koran in the can. It appears to be another liberal, socialist, politically correctness at work once again…

Zsa Zsa on July 29, 2007 at 07:43 am

ews: Doesn’t it seem logical to you that if we can express our hatred for the USA by burning the American Flag, then we can also express our hatred for Islam by throwing the Koran in the toilet?  Free speech rights are for unpleasant speech; no one has a problem with pleasant speech. If burning the Flag isn’t a “hate crime”, why should throwing the Koran in the toilet be a “hate crime”?
In the leftie mind, any act against one of their favored groups is a “crime”, while acting against what they don’t like is OK.  Think about it.  They are OK with hatred against the USA, but not against Muslims.  Makes you wonder whose side they’re on, doesn’t it?
Does anyone care about mistreatment of the Bible?

e: Let me ‘splain it to you:  If you launch an investigation for purely political purposes, since no crime was committed here, then you can continue to question someone until you find some inconsistency in their testimony, which produces the perjury charge.  Since this investigation should not even be taking place(the Chief Executive has the right to fire any employee he wants to fire), this is a trap.
I’m sure if I questioned Chucky Shumer for a long enough time, I could catch him in some falsehood eventually, but since there would be no crime that is being “covered up”, what’s the purpose, other than political dirty tricks?  That’s what is meant by a “perjury trap”.

We also aren’t into murdering those who desecrate religious shrines like Islamic countries.  Al Qaeda isn’t a government which is another thing Sparkie’s clueless on. 

Pretty much shows Sparkless’s mentality as he’s comparing peaceful Christians with Al Qaeda and Islamic Fundamentalist Governments.

First of all there wasn’t glue involved.  I don’t know that there has been US Tax money given in the Elephant dung, but the National Endowment for the Arts has funded things anti religious items with my tax money.  So the point stands.

To compare that with an usually small religious items in courthouses (donated of course) is absolutely bone numbingly stupid, something I’ve come to expect from you.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Then Robert108a ccording to your logic, B. Clinton when questioned about Monica Lewinsky should have answered: “None of your goddamned business where I put my dick!” Therefore that investigation was also uncalled for. But that’s just me.
ellinas on July 29, 2007 at 06:01 pm

Of course Ellinas you’re wrong again.  Bill Clinton did not commit perjury in the Whitewater investigation.  He lied in a deposition in a civil sexual harassment hearing.  (Which he settled for a million dollars I believe so he’s guilty). 

The questioning of Monica Lewinsky was in bounds because the plaintiff needed to prove that this was standard behavior because otherwise it was a he said/she said thing.  So he lied under oath which is perjury (not what Scooter Libby did BTW.)

When the plaintiff discovered an act of perjury they were obligated to turn it over to the proper authorities which turned out to be (the special prosecutor). 

You’d think that someone who pretends to be a cop would be more aware of the law and current events.

Hi Anna… I agree with you that many organizations have hurt our country. But a Godly man in office who is not scared to change things for the better, would help us tremendously. ...Debra

Whistler as of July 17 2007 I am a retired peace officer.
Furthermore your petty personal attack is just that: A petty prsonal attack.
When I watch the hearings on C-SPAN and see Alberto squirm like a worm, change his story,etc, etc, then I know that the A.G. of the USA is not telling the truth. And that bugs me. As far as Paula Jones’ lawsuit against Clinton I have one thing to say:"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”

Oh bite your tongue, Sparkie!

I am for a true Godly man, Pete Grasso.

There is no such thing as a Godly man who is not scared, because if he were truly Godly he would have the fear of God in him.

ellinas on July 29, 2007 at 06:24 pm

Hi ellinas,

It is true that wisdom begins with “The fear of the Lord” because He can cast a soul into hell. However, once a person is in Christ, that person does not have to fear God anymore.

But, I think your point is well taken, that you are meaning the reality of what God could allow to happen to America if “His” people do not turn to Him and repent. He does chasen His own.

Debra…

Sure you are. 

As far as Paula Jones’ lawsuit against Clinton I have one thing to say:"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”

I suppose you have proof of that or did you make that (that Paula Jones was scorned) up too?

In this case, one made himself the accelerator and the other was the fou et à lumiere ... the mere fool and a flame.

The Whistler on July 29, 2007 at 06:35 pm

Yes I have proof. Witness the nose and boob job she got prior to divorcing her husband. Also witness her whining when the conservative group that was behind her dropped her like a hot potato.

God is my witness. I dislike lying AG’s of the USA.

ellinas on July 29, 2007 at 06:47 pm

So Ellinas has no proof besides character assassination. 

On the other hand BJ Clinton paid a million dollars to Paula Jones so it seems likely that Paula was telling the truth. 

Add to that the fact that Bill Clinton lied about his activity to cover up his sexual harassment and was found guilty by a judge and permanently lost his law license over the matter.

Now as far as this Koran in the toilet goes I believe that those directly involved are overreacting.
This Stanislav Shmulevich (propably a Polish Jew) threw the koran in the toilet. Big deal. Charge the little imp with public nuisance (for attempting to plugg a toilet) even though he was putting the Koran in the toilet to rub the muslims the wrong way.

ellinas on July 29, 2007 at 06:54 pm

How is it charecter assasination mentioning her boob and nose job that were payed by the Rutherford Institute, the conservative legal foundation that took responsibility for paying Jones’ legal bills?
The only one doing character assasination here is you dear Whistler.

What does the plastic surgery have to do with her being scorned and what does that have to do with her charges not being valid (and hence the charges against Clinton being valid?)
