It actually seems like the sort of thing a lunatic leader of a rogue state might do as part of an Esoterror plot.

Any sanctity it might have once had should I think make it even more unclean by the circumstances. It is like the time when the Mossad team that kidnapped Eichmann was shocked to hear him quote, "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one."
However I should think it is a Muslim's job to decide what should be done with it.
