The Burning of the Koran (AL Qur'an)



The burning of the Koran to be conducted by the pastor from Florida Terry Jones, on the anniversary of the September 11 tragedy, nevertheless carried out since getting criticism from various parties. But by pastor Bob Old and Danny Allen, they burned the Koran in the backyard of a house in Springfileld, United States, on Saturday (11 / 9) ago.

Bob Old and Danny Allen stood together in the backyard of an old house, they called the move as a calling from God. They burned two copies of Quran and other Islamic texts in front of a handful of people, mostly from the media.

As reported by the Detroit News, was burning the Koran also occurred in Michigan. A Koran was burned in front of the Islamic center in the city.

Ryanne Nason, a scholar United States, as reported by a local newspaper Mainecampus, Thursday (15 / 9), said that the arson committed by a number of people are very sad and shameful. In the U.S., a country that was formed on the belief of religious freedom, any person granted the right to practice religion they believe, like Judaism, Islam, Christianity, or no religion at all. By burning the Koran or other religious scriptures, images of all other nations to make the U.S. is a nation without classes and unethical.

It is ironic that Terry Jones or Bob Old felt to have protection under the first amendment to burn the holy books of other religions that he did not believe. Though all the Muslims in the U.S. are protected by constitutional law the same. This will give a blemish on the reputation of America.

According to Ryanne, moral and religious people menggunakan strong values, but now people discredit their beliefs because they are judging and intolerance. One of the many reasons why we have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is to fight oppression and religious persecution against the country's population in the country. However, now it turns out the American citizens themselves who mock other religions.

In Chicago, Mohammed Kaiseruddin, the Board of Directors Centre for Islamic teachings give an idea of burning the Koran is very different from the values that dianutnya. He told the Huffington Post today, "We feel like we've become a victim. When we hold the Koran, we treated him with great respect. We never put a copy of the Koran on the floor. Since childhood, we always remind the children to respect the holy book . We also teach them when finished reading the Koran, they close and kissed her, then save it"
