British Girl, 15, Arrested Over Alleged Koran Burning

LONDON (Nov. 25) -- A 15-year-old British girl has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after she allegedly set fire to an English-language copy of the Koran and posted footage of the incident on Facebook.

The unidentified teenager is accused of torching the Islamic holy book at her school in Sandwell, near the city of Birmingham in central England, as other students watched. She was questioned by police on Friday and was released later that day pending further inquiries.

Police also arrested a 14-year-old boy on Tuesday on suspicion of making threats on the social networking site, in connection with the alleged burning. He has also been released on bail pending further inquiries.

The group that published the English-language version of the Koran is believed to have visited the school this week, to talk to pupils and explain the significance of the book to Muslims, the BBC reports.

Under British law, if an adult is found guilty of religious hatred -- something no one has been convicted of since the law was introduced in 2006 -- they can face up to seven years in prison, a fine or both. However, it is not clear what kind of penalty a minor found guilty of the charge would incur.

this is BS!

Shariah law is coming to Britain and all of Europe soon enough. Under Shariah the penalty will be far worse than jail or a fine, even for a little girl. Yes Britains, public stoning of adulteress women will be coming to a square soon...

it is just unbelievable! Very dangerous times ahead!

So now there is religious hatred. So am I to assume this will work in both directions ,for all parties? Looks like more freedom and liberty has been taken from the real citizens of Great Britain.
