I can’t think of anything more likely to cause offence to millions of people around the world and to stir up radical extremists than the proposed burning of the Koran by the members of a small evangelical church in Florida.
Referring to the events of 11 September 2001, the pastor said, ‘We want to ... make a statement to honour those murdered on that day’.
Burning the Koran honours no-one, and it needs to be remembered that people of all faiths died in those attacks.
It is to be hoped that the authorities will step in and deal firmly with an unacceptable situation that is likely to result in retaliatory action if it were allowed to go ahead.
