1. Don Rubber Gloves to Act as a Barrier Against Your Kafir Cooties. 2. Resist the Urge to Throw or Torch It. 3. Submit 4. Repeat 5. Repeat

onIslam reports that, after that unfortunate incineration incident in Afghanistan, NATO forces are being trained in the proper way to handle a Koran:
CAIRO – Seeking to avoid new desecrations of the Noble Qur’an, the US-led NATO troops in Afghanistan are being trained on how to respect the Muslim holy book.

"It's probably a little too simplistic to suggest that it's a simple matter of do's and don'ts," Lt. Col. George Robinson, a senior officer in the Marine Corps' language and culture training programs, told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, March 8.

"It's more a matter of why is the Qur’an an important." 
A new training program was launched last week for the USled NATO troops in Afghanistan on how to respect the Noble Qur’an.

The refresher training aims to prevent any desecration of the Muslim holy book by foreign troops in the Asian Muslim country.

Under the training, soldiers are advised not to throw the Muslim holy book.

It also asks soldiers to be cautious when dealing with Arabic texts, assuming “material is sacred if there is any doubt over its religious significance." 
The training came after Afghan laborers found charred copies of the Noble Qur’an while collecting rubbish at Bagram airbase in Kabul last month...

US President Barack Obama and NATO commanders have apologized for the Qur’an burning, describing it as a “mistake”... 
Muslims consider the Qur’an the literal word of God and treat each book with deep reverence. Desecration is considered one of the worst forms of blasphemy...
