American Christians want to burn Muslim holy book

28 July 2010

A Christian Church in America wants to burn the Muslim Holy Book, Koran, on September 11, 2010. The Evangelical Pastor Terry Jones said he will mark the ninth anniversary of terrorists attacks on New York, with burning the Korans.

Pastor Jones blames 9/11 on Muslims and their religion of Islam. He made the announcement to burn copies of the Koran in July 2010. Muslims all over the world have protested against the planned move. Muslims believe that Koran is a book from God and it teaches the Divine religion, Islam.

The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, said it will burn the Korans to remember 3,000 people killed on September 11, 2001 by Muslim hijackers.

Reverend Jones said torching the Koran is aimed to remember those who were brutally murdered on September 11. He said he wants to send a warning to the Jihadi religion.

Rev. Jones believes Islam and Sharia law were responsible for 9/11. He said his Church will burn Korans because we think it's time for Americans to say no to Islam, it is not welcome in the U.S.
The Florida Church will organise a bonfire of the Korans, on what is labelled the "International Burn a Koran Day" on September 11, 2010. The Dove Church is asking other religious groups to join in standing against Quran and its teachings. Many Christians believes that the Muslims religion was responsible for 9/11.

The Church plans to light fire to the sacred book on Muslim holy day of Eid al Fitr, which is celebrated at the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting.


News update:

U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has condemned plans to burn the Korans.
