Don Singleton brings this to our attention:

Italian Muslims have swiftly acted to stop the sale in local stores of toilet seat covers that feature verses of the Noble Qur'an in an unprecedented blasphemous act, reporting the matter to appropriate authorities and politicians, who proved forthcoming.

"I would like to thank Italian authorities who responded positively to our complaints against this profanity," Samir Al-Khalidi, the head of the Islamic Centre (Al-Huda) in Rome, told IslamOnlin.net Saturday, October 27.

"We reacted astutely to this provocation and threw the ball in the court of security officials and politicians, demanding them to seize the products immediately to head off angry Muslim reaction," he added.

Islam Online, which has the story, says in its headilne that the seats were siezed by the Italian government, but I haven't been able to find any reports beyond the Italian government spinelessly saying that the seats are a cause for a concern - the only real cause for concern, of course, is the way the Moslems in Italy behaved...

The Moslems of this world are my brothers and sisters - we are all children of God, but I'm finding it impossible to take them seriously when they will complain about an absurdity such as this, but can't find it in them to loudly condemn Islamist outrages...and, of course, Islam won't be a religion for full men and women until a Catholic cathedral and a Jewish synagogue are open for business in Mecca.

Grow up, Islam.
