The Rev. Terry Jones, the head of a small church in Gainesville, said he will go ahead with plans to burn Qurans on the anniversary of the September 11, , terrorist attacks. The statements in reaction received so far are as follows:.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said: "I continue to urge the government and the people of the United States to ensure the prevention of such an incomprehensible, irrational and immoral act. The value of the American nation, which emphasizes tolerance, freedom of religion and common sense, is being tested.
Hence, once again, the government and the Americans must continue to take serious action to prevent and stop such uncivilized acts. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said, "While I will defend any American's First Amendment rights, our generals in the field tell us that the men and women defending those rights would be endangered as a result of this stunt.
If this group insists on going forward, I would hope that members of the media will not reward them with what they crave most: news coverage. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who said he has been in touch with the church, said, "I think common decency would dictate that this would not occur and that we would be respectful and are a respectful people of all religions.
I sincerely hope that they will not take such unacceptable actions.

Should such an "inhumane incident take place in America, the U. Afghanistan is a deeply religious country where slights against Islam have frequently provoked violent protests, and many Afghans are incensed at the discovery of charred Korans at the US-run Bagram airbase north of Kabul. In a letter of apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Obama expressed "deep regret" over the incident that he said was unintentional and pledged that those responsible would be held accountable, Kabul said.
Karzai said a US officer was responsible -- "out of ignorance" -- for the Koran burning at Bagram airbase north of Kabul and the US government had admitted the mistake, his office said.
The two Americans were shot dead when an Afghan soldier turned his weapon on them at their base in Khogyani in eastern Nangarhar province, district governor Mohammad Hassan told AFP. One Norwegian soldier was lightly injured when a hand grenade was thrown into a NATO camp in Maimana, capital of northern Faryab province, during a demonstration, the Norwegian army said.

Thousands rally in DRC capital against electoral commission pick. We won because we killed every man who wanted to kill or be killed for his country. We killed a bunch of other people besides who didn't want to kill or be killed for their country, old men, women and children. When we stopped killing people the one's who were left didn't want to kill or be killed. They wanted to live and they didn't care who was in charge.

It's that or You're right. Wouldn't it be a shame if those middle-eastern whacko's stopped acting like our best friends, stopped sending us millions in Aid money, stopped defending our country for us, and stopped selling us oil at such low prices, all because a few Korans got burned? If they don't like what one person in Florida does we should immediately restrict the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, and tell our president to stoop much lower when he kisses their butts again.

Kuran Burning The burning of the Kuran is wrong. Koran burning The decision to burn the Koran was based on the belief that the christen god is the true god and to send the message you will be tortured in hell if you don't follow the bible.
