So, Does This Count as Defiling the Quran?

A suicide bomber set off explosives Friday in the midst of Shiite Muslims reciting the Quran, killing at least 20 and wounding dozens gathered for a religious festival at a shrine near the capital.

No mention about whether or not a Quran was harmed in the explosion. Or does it not matter, because the intent was only to destroy Muslims, not the Muslims' holy book? I'm just looking for a little clarification as to how outraged I can expect the MSM and the folks in Afghanistan to be about this. If these guys had actually tried to flush people down the toilet, would THAT set off major protests? Hmmmm....

I suppose if the bomb was set by a US soldier this would be desecration.

But otherwise I'm sure it's all just innocent fun.
