Police have arrested two people on suspicion of racial hatred after a video appeared online showing a man burning a copy of the Koran.
The video, which MailOnline has chosen not to publish, shows a tattooed man standing in a kitchen complaining about being unable to start a fire.
Speaking into the camera, he says: 'I've been trying to get my poxy fire started for half-hour wondering what s**t I can get it going with.'
Holding a paperback copy of the Koran up to the camera, he adds: 'And then I found this.'
Superintendent Kevin Purcell said: 'This was a concerning incident and we will be carrying out a thorough investigation. It is being investigated as a hate crime.
'We have been in contact with our local Muslim community via Councillor Jabba Riaz, deputy Mayor for Worcester who, as always, acts as a critical friend in support of what we do.'

The police take this crime with as much severity as Murder and Paedophilia, unless of couse its paedophilia in Rochdale or Rotherham, then its not as important
The police must have too much time on their hands if they can pursue stuff like that.
No wonder the Tories have been cutting their numbers.

What he should do is to burn a copy of every Holy Book he can find. Then see what the reaction is from the various religions and if any legal action is taken.
That way you can see if one religion regards itself more important than the others.

Also it shows you are not a racist, as you hate all religions equally!
My thought also, is Islam a race? I would have thought not but you never know.
Should be perfectly legal to burn books in your own home and put the video on the internet.
If people don't like it they can say so in the comment section.

sack the policeman who thought it was right to investigate this
Has plod got a posse out for these knuckleheads?
Left-wingers are buying up - and burning - right wing newspapers on polling day.
This morning I reignited the British spirit with the newsagents entire stock of Suns and Daily Mails.
A certain (Godwin's law) would be proud.
Can't be as hard up as Jeremy keeps telling us.

Just saw this on news. Somehow the priority of what's reported and what's not is being distorted.
Along with how the law deals with these things I should add. Something has gone radically wrong.
It's an interesting idea. You could imagine thousands of towns at, say 11:00, burning a book or lots of them. Would it do any long-term good or not? Would it get a message across?
I'd like to see 10,000's of people doing video's on Youtube of Holy Book burning. No discrimination, all faiths.
Would be interesting if you got one hundred thousand people to all burn a copy at once.
