Ahlul Bayt News Agency ; On Sept. 12, workers found a burned Quran, the holy book of Islam, in a trash bin outside the Islamic Society of San Francisco. Khaled Olaibah , the administrator of the ISSF, reported the bigoted act to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and CAIR reported it to local authorities.
The ISSF has functioned as a community center in San Francisco for almost 15 years, helping Muslim immigrants and providing a venue for weddings and other religious ceremonies for the Muslim community. The ISSF serves over 800 people.
The Quran burning in San Francisco is a direct result of recent anti-Muslim rhetoric targeting the proposed Park51 community center in New York City.
