Afghan paper factory recycled Quran prints for toilet paper

Not, its not me. No, it is no joke. Yes, it is true!

http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/a...Klopapier.html

A mob stormed a paper factory in the outskirts of Kabhul where printed editions of the Quran were smashed, recycled and used for producing toilet paper.

Oh the wicked irony in this... Can'T those pumped up heads and red faces be constructively used for heat or electricity production, maybe?
