Stop the presses! A second Quran has been found in a toilet at Pace University, according to the Council on American Islamic Relations.

NEW YORK (AP) _ Another copy of the Islamic holy book has been found in a toilet at a university library, a civil liberties group said Tuesday. The discovery of the Quran in a toilet at Pace University’s lower Manhattan campus on Friday was the latest in a series of recent acts of vandalism tinged with racial or religious overtones at the school, said the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an Islamic civil liberties group.

“We once again call on Pace University to take concrete measures to help educate the student population about Islamophobic bigotry and its negative impact on ordinary Muslims and on American society,” Maryam Sayar Akbar, the group’s civil rights director, said in a statement.
