LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Muslim group on Wednesday demanded a public apology from online bookseller Amazon.com for its part in delivering a used copy of the Koran with the words ``Death to all Muslims'' scrawled across the inside cover.

Los Angeles graduate student Azza Basarudin, who ordered a used copy of the holy book through Amazon.com from a third -party, said that when she discovered the message ``I actually dropped the book.''

``I was taken back to after Sept. 11 and my fear of even leaving my apartment,'' Basarudin told a news conference.
