Seems that back in the late '90's, one Mr. Saddam Hussein thought it a good idea to have a copy of the Koran written in his own blood - over 7 gallons of it. That's a lot of red ink. But considering the 605 page length of the tome, SharkyandSharky feel the E.P.A. would rate the pages/gallon acceptable.
Now the fun part. The "Blood Koran" has been locked inside a vault under a Bagdad mosque that originally Saddam called "The Mother Of All Battles." Turns out this is proving prophetic as the Koran in any form cannot be destroyed. So the "Blood Koran" is likely to cause much more blood to be spilled as the Iraqis try to determine what to do about this.
Since his ouster in 2003 and his death in 2006, Iraq has been continuously erasing the tyrannical remnants of Hussein's regime. Even street names are being changed "to protect the innocent." Iraqi officials want to destroy the book to eliminate a Sunni rallying cause, but their religion won't allow it.
SharkyandSharky hope that no Dutch journalists pen cartoons about this subject.
