This holy book, the Koran represents Allah to the Muslims. In the story “A Private Experience” it is because a copy of the Holy Koran is run over by a truck that a riot breaks out in the marketplace of Kano. Because the Koran represents Allah to the Muslims, desecrating the book was the same as dishonoring their god.
