I'm having a problem with that also. This was a very small article in Newsweek's "Periscope" section. Abuse of the Qu'ran has been reported many times previously without an uproar of this kind. I was astounded to see this little tidbit in Time magazine this week:
"May 6 - Imran Khan, a Pakistani cricket legend and government critic, cites the (Newsweek) report in denouncing the alleged desecration. His remarks spread around the Muslim world."
WTF? A damned cricket player actually started all of this?
