#2 Gee, I wonder why they had this idea??? Could it be that muslims are over-representated among their "guests", and are notorious for making demands regarding their "sensibilities", all the while being an otherwise very difficult population to manage???...

Nah, it couldn't be... everybody knows muslims are a peaceful, law-abiding, respectful segment of european populations.

#3 I think it is physically impossible to ski using Korans.

It might be possible to skate however.

#7 This is all just science. The bullshit oozing from the pages of the Koran contains traces of oily residue. The viscosity of this residue makes it an effective lubricant, this reducing the drag coefficient between the pages and the floor. The weight of the prison guards pressing on the book also increases the amount of bullshit residue exuded from the pages, further reducing friction. Add a little forward momentum on a hard surface, and you have 'one heck of a ride'.

#8 and I hear they flushed them down the toilet after they were done skiing on them.

Sheesh - and the MSM is running with this before it is confirmed? Journalists are no longer what we once considered to be journalists, reporters of facts. Now they are just sensation whores.

#9 Hahahahah ! Other than wiping your ass with it, an outstanding use of the blather from Muhamass. Where is the f**king troll from London ? See this fool ? This is what the Brits think about you scumbags.

#10 Too funny. After I read my Koran, I ripped it up, burned it, dumped the ashes in the back yard, and pissed on it. But these officers were truely more inventive. They may have found a practical use. Promote them immediately.

#11 Not bright, a book, no matter what its contents does not make for a very good pair of skies as the binding will roll and the pages will tear and you'll bite very quickly.

A book is much better when used as toilet paper.

Why is it that the word "tribology" springs to mind? Must have something to do with the bullshit's actual source.

#13 Well, you could make a hat, or a broach, or a pterodactyl....
