Students were suspended from an English high school after a Qur’an they purchased was said to have a small tear and a smudged page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four 14-year-old boys were suspended from Wakefield’s Kettlethorpe High School in England after a Qur’an purchased by one of the boys, who was described as “highly autistic,” sustained minor damage, including a small tear in its cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident is said to have sparked multiple investigations, including one by the West Yorkshire Police, which is investigating the matter as a “hate incident”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book is said to have been damaged at the school after it was knocked out of a pupil\u2019s hands and then put into a schoolbag, with it being unknown whether or not further things happened to the copy of the Islamic holy book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Images posted online by local Muslim councillor Akef Akbar revealed the extremely minor extent of the damage, which appeared to consist of a very small tear in the book’s cover, slight smudging of one page’s corner, and small indentations to the back of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
