AN Irish woman has been sentenced to seven years in prison after she ignited a religious row in a mosque in Qatar. Sheena Sharma (39) was charged with "insulting the Koran" when she visited the Arab state last September.
Witnesses explained that Sharma walked into the airport's female-only mosque where a number of cleaners were working and proceeded to flip the Islamic holy book upside down. A head employee said that she tried to intervene and flip the book upwards, but Sharma reportedly flung it to the ground. [Herald.ie] Read more [via National Secular Society]
