News Desk: Breaking News! In a condemnable incident, an unidentified low-profile man ripped pages out of a Quran and burnt them outside the proposed Community Center and Mosque near Ground Zero. The news was reported by the New York Daily News along with some pictures.

Even though Pastor of the Florida Church Terry Jones cancelled his plan to burn the Quran due to international pressure and criticism, the unidentified zealot did not bother and set the Quran pages on fire.

"If they can burn American flags, I can burn the Quran. Americans should never be afraid to give their opinion", he said. The news was first reported by the New York Daily News. Even the Americans termed the act of burning Quran as 'ugly' and 'condemnable'.

In another incident near Nashville, Tennessee, evangelical Pastor Bob Old and another man burnt at least two copies of the Quran, drawing criticism and rebuke from other people. However, it is not immediately known whether these are rumors or any truth is there in the news.

The call of 'Burn A Quran' was first made by Terry Jones, the Pastor of Dove World Outreach Centre church in Gainesville, Florida. He later cancelled his plan.

All who foment war resulting in death should be considered enemy combatants who are aiding and abetting terrorists. All who acted to cause collateral damage should be specially rendered to Afghanistan and turned over to their justice.

Those that have died directly are incidental to the Americans who will die as their is a great influx of fighters from across the Muslim world.

Terry Jones and those of his congregation need some grape Kool Aid from other Pastor Jones.

This is a disgusting act. Has this world not evolved from the book burnings 70years ago???
I don't judge Christians/Americans for this act - I judge the ignorance of the individuals.
I thank the non-Muslims for their support against this vile act of "freedom"

You have gotta be kidding me. How can Terry Satan say he has no problem with a moslem its Islam he has a problem with, some please explein the logic? I am a Christian because I believe in Christianity. Do we have to e associated to dumb peeps like TJ. I am a proud American, however I firmly believe TJ is not a true American but an ugly bitter pawn in the game. Obama just used him to look good and still cause haterd. Not ong for our Christ to come now when the undercover Romans stop causing hate as always.

O thou Apostle! let not those grieve thee who vie in misbelief; or those who say with their mouths 'We believe,' but their hearts do not believe; or of those who are Jews, listeners to a lie, - listeners to other people, but who come not to thee. They pervert the words from their places and say, ' If this is what ye are given, take it; but if ye are not given it, then beware!' but he whom God wishes to mislead, thou canst do nothing with God for him; these are those whose hearts God wishes not to purify, for them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the next is mighty woe, Q5:41; check also Q3:78, Q2:79, Q4:46 and Q5:13.

Finally, Americans with guts. Good to see. They got'er done. Down with mosque of the murders. Burn more korans.

-9 #19 Jasmine 2010-09-13 05:28

If the muslims react and kill innocent people, including those that were nowhere near where any korans were burned, it just proves that the muslims are violent, hateful people.

And anyone that says "ok" to burning an American flag, citing "freedom of expression" and then condemns the burnng of a book is a hypocrite.
