19-year-old released on bail after alleged Koran-burning video
Quote:
A 19-year-old from Leeds, West Yorkshire, who was arrested in connection with an offensive video he posted on a social media website has been released on bail.
A video, which was shared to the Yorkshire Standard, showed a man ripping apart an English translation of the Koran with his teeth and putting it in the toilet before burning it.
The police arrested the suspect on 27 December after people raised concerns for the safety of the person who had posted the video up following a number of public comments made in response to it.

How much you want to bet that the kid would not have been arrested if the book in question was a bible?
And not sure if this goes for the whole UK but if you're in Scotland watch what you say on social media:

I am guessing by "offensive" they mean anything offensive to muslims. There will no slandering of the prophet of Islam in the UK!
