The Dove World Outreach Center in Florida through its pastor Terry Jones has already expressed that his congregation is going to do a burning of the Islamic holy book Koran during the commemoration of the 9/11 bombing by terrorist of the World Trade Center that killed thousands of people.Jones has been very active and vocal against his campaign on extremist and radical Islam and Muslims.
This plan has been slammed by a good number of people in the US military saying that this move of Dove World Outreach Center will just put many more American soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq and other parts of the world in grave danger and may cause higher deaths from attacks.
Jones said during an interview on CNN,
"We have firmly made up our mind, but at the same time, we are definitely praying about it…Once in awhile, you see that in the Bible, there are instances where enough is enough and you stand up.”
Now the outrage about such move that is seen to perpetuate more division and could even lead to another war is receiving so many condemnations from all over the world. And many Muslim countries and its people are already hyping up their campaigns and rallies against the US.
Gen. Petreus who heads the US troops in Afghanistan is also very much afraid of the
"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort in Afghanistan. Were the actual burning to take place, the safety of our soldiers and civilians would be put in jeopardy and accomplishment of the mission would be made more difficult.”
