German authorities puzzled over Koran disposal
Police have confiscated tens of thousands of copies of a banned version of the Koran that came under fire for promoting religious hatred. Now the authorities must decide what to do with them.
Authorities have said a group of Salafists gave away a Muhammad biography in several German cities over the weekend. Germany recently banned the "True Religion" group who handed out a fundamentalist version of the Koran. (29.11.2016)
Throughout 2016, German authorities carried out raids on hundreds of locations across 10 federal states in a crackdown on the "True Religion" Salafist group, confiscating tens of thousands of copies of a fundamentalist translation of the Koran. According to media reports on Friday, the government was grappling with how to dispose of the texts - and the only option may be to bury the whole lot in the desert.
