Funny, we here of every desecration (or supposed desecration) of copies of the Koran.

How, on the other hand, do Muslims treat the Holy Books of other religions?

The Aleppo Codex was a one-of-a-kind manuscript.
The Muslims apparently set fire to it, and then hid the remaining sections for a decade:
