On a more recent note, Christian priest in Florida wanted to burn copies of the Qur’an and the Government had stepped in to stop him. He has on the last minute cancelled his plans despite the controversy he was going to cause. The President of the US said, “it was a war against terrorism and not against religion”. However, the priest claimed that he had agreed not to carry this act out, provided that there is no Islamic Culture Centre built/erected on Ground Zero as it was too close to the twin towers. |
