An article on the military in Afghanistan notes the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has had to defend itself, again, against charges of desecrating the Koran (Quran).  The military conducted a three-day investigation, and noted the accusations didn’t even make sense:

The allegations in the media also state that the Quran was bayoneted. Soldiers performing patrols in that area do not carry bayonets according to the task force.

The military was quick to reassure the local populace nonetheless:

ISAF understands the significance and importance of the Quran to the Muslim religion and the people of Afghanistan and takes allegations of the desecration and disrespect of the Quran or any other religious or cultural items very seriously.
