Arrest Made In Quran Desecration Case At Pace University

Last Friday in New York City, a 23-year old man was arrested on hate crime charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment for twice placing a copy of the Quran in a toilet at Pace University's campus in lower Manhattan. Newsday reported last week that Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn was accused of the acts that took place in October and November amid other incidents with racial or religious overtones that took place at the university. Yesterday, CAIR issued a statement commending the NYPD for its handling of the case.
