An unidentified person desecrated an English copy of the Quran in front of the Turkish consulate building in New York City on Friday, September 8. A video clip circulated on social media platforms showed a man throwing the holy book of Muslims
on the ground and trampling on it while shouting, “This is a Quran.”
As a result, the security personnel from the Turkish consulate immediately left the building, intervened and removed the person from the premises.
