SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A Muslim civil rights group is asking federal and New Mexico authorities to investigate a couple suspected of urinating on copies of the Quran at a library.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it wants authorities to look into the matter for “possible bias” motives.
Santa Fe Public Library workers told police they believed a man and a woman may have urinated on copies of Islam’s sacred text and damaged a copy of the 2004 autobiography by former President Bill Clinton last week.
