Man burns Quran at Ground Zero on 9/11 as mosque protests rock NY

Anti-Islam sentiment has been running high in the U.S. on that anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In New York, a man set fire to pages of the Koran just feet away from Ground Zero. Two pastors in the State of Tennessee are also said to have set light to copies of the Muslim holy book. Tension has also flared in New York over plans to build a mosque and Islamic Community Centre just blocks from the site of the World Trade Centre. Around a thousand people gathered near Ground Zero to support the construction, while several hundred demonstrators opposed to it, rallied nearby.

Americans know nothing of the Muslim faith, FOX news only lets them hear what they want to hear. They only show the radicalism. I know a lot of Muslims, and they're some of the nicest people I have ever met.

@Joker80808 If they are going to react and kill people when a Qur'an is burnt then there is a problem with THEM, not US. I'm a christian too, if someone burnt a bible i couldn't care less, God can defend himself. Ive read the book, its just about muhammed the war lord and commands to live by as well as contradictions, allah cant even make his mind up on how he made us lol.

WHAT ARE THOSE FUCKIN ASSHOLES TRYIN TO PROVE!? im a christian and christians like that give us a bad name. and whats the point of burning a book if you haven't read it or research on it.

[MrKZ101]

So those protests are again burning the Quran, the holy book. And they answer with burning american flag. And that makes them ignorant terrorists. Well done America....
