Trial date set for a German man who wrote the Quran's name on toilet paper

BERLIN A German man will go on trial February 23rd for printing the name of the Quran on toilet paper and offering it for sale to mosques and media organizations.

Authorities say the man called Islam's holy book a "cookbook for terrorists" which he said calls for acts of violence. He said he wanted to use money from the toilet paper sales to fund a memorial for victims of what he called Islamic terror.

The offer led to telephone death threats against him.

Prosecutors say the man's actions overstepped the legally guaranteed freedom to criticize other religions.
