I predict it will be stolen by extreme Islamists

.What may be the world's oldest fragments of the Koran have been found by the University of Birmingham.
Radiocarbon dating found the manuscript to be at least 1,370 years old, making it among the earliest in existence.
The pages of the Muslim holy text had remained unrecognised in the university library for almost a century.
The British Library's expert on such manuscripts, Dr Muhammad Isa Waley, said this "exciting discovery" would make Muslims "rejoice".
The manuscript had been kept with a collection of other Middle Eastern books and documents, without being identified as one of the oldest fragments of the Koran in the world.

The extreme Islamists probably won't care, judging by the way they have "developed" Mecca. They tend to view the veneration of ancient artefacts as idolatry and hence heresy. What you might see is it being hijacked by those with an eye to the main chance. |

the bbc was in throes of almost orgasmic proportions. I wonder if they thought about the peado connections of this so called prophet and what it has led to.
