State organizations in Saudi Arabia have desecrated the Holy Qur\'an by discarding over fifty copies in Taif city\'s street sewerage canals.
According to a Saudi official in the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the incident was reported by a local student, who saw the holy books on his way home in Al-Salama district of Taif.
The service company that specializes in opening drainage inlets was then called, and dozens of copies of the Quran were retrieved.
A photo that shows desecrated books has now gone viral on the internet and social media websites.
This is not the first time the Holy Quran has been desecrated in Saudi Arabia. Earlier this year, the move by prison officials in Al-Haer province to insult the Holy Book led to protests in different parts of the Kingdom.
The desecration of the holy Quran in a country, which is the birthplace of Islam, has raised eyebrows in the Muslim world.
This week\'s Islam & Life asks: How do certain stories affect the world\'s perception of Saudi Arabia?

It is a documentary about Destruction of Baqi, Aal e Saud and the West. It is in Urdu with English subtitles. This is an analysis of the political scenario of Hijaz. It discusses how the Aal e Saud captured the throne. The British sought help from two tribes one Saud from Najd, and the other, family of Sharif Husain of Macca. The well-known spy T.E.Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia was in charge of the Sharif Husain\'s family, and Captain William for Alsaud. Because they did not want to fight within Mecca and Medina with the muslims as this could ignite the flames of hatred in the Indian sub-continent and in all of the Muslim world. Al-saud belonged to Najd in Hijaz and were trying to capture the throne of Hijaz for the last 225 years. In 1790, they occupied Makkah Medina and Taif. In 1801, Abdul Aziz Alsaud attacked Karbala and Najaf in Iraq. 15000 were martyred in Karbala and 5000 to 15000 in Najaf by AlSaud. Besides they looted many valuables from both the cities. AlSaud also banned Haj for one year for the muslims from the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Mehmood-II sent an army under the command of Ibrahim Pasha in 1818 A.D who destroyed Darayya which was the capital of wahabi looters. The final shutdown of the Ottoman empire was in 1918 with the help of these two tribes. Sharif Hussain was exiled in Cyprus and his four sons were given the rulerships of Iraq, Syria and Jordan.

El secretario general de la Sociedad de la Media Luna Roja de Irán, Ali Asqar Ahmadi, dedicó un momento a HispanTV para hablar sobre la estampida en la ciudad de La Meca, Arabia Saudí.
Mala gestión de los responsables de seguridad saudíes, es la causa principal de la estampida, así lo afirma Ali Asqar Ahmadi.
Ahmadi culpa a los responsables de seguridad de la zona donde ocurrió la tragedia. Según los testigos, eran jóvenes con poca experiencia. Debería haber alguien con más experiencia para ayudarles, nos asegura.
Cuenta que ahora, el principal reto es encontrar a los desparecidos. Para conocer su destino, diez equipos iraníes están rastreando hospitales y centros médicos de Yaddah, Taif y La Meca. Más de 300 personas siguen desaparcadas.
Tras la estampida mortal en La Meca, Irán envía una delegación a Arabia Saudí. Su misión es averiguar las causas de esta tragedia y pedir respuestas a las autoridades saudíes.
El ministro de Cultura y Orientación Islámica de Irán, Mohamad Ali Yanati, junto con su delegación que lleva ayuda para repatriar los cadáveres y participar en la investigación.
Asa Esfandiari, Teherán.
