Skateboarder Saves Quran From Flames

by The Editors on September 13, 2010

S-Quran-Burning-Fail-LargeWhen a group in Amarillo, Texas tried to burn a Quran on Saturday, September 11, 2010 a local skateboarder ran through and grabbed the kerosene-soaked book and escaped, according to a story on Amarillo.com.

Jacob Isom, 23, grabbed David Grisham’s Quran when he became distracted while arguing with several residents at Sam Houston Park about the merits of burning the Islamic holy book. . . “You’re just trying to start Holy Wars,” Isom said of Grisham after he gave the book to a religious leader from the Islamic Center of Amarillo.

Isom was reportedly carrying a skateboard at the time of the action. We’re guessing it was a longboard. . .
