Top Islamic institution slams Quran-burning plan

One group of religious whack-jobs denouncing the other. Oh well, at least the religious freaks in Gainesville, Florida aren’t blowing people up. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the other group of religious crazies from the Middle East.

Truth be told, aren’t religious people insane? TGO

CAIRO – The world’s pre-eminent Sunni Muslim institution of learning has condemned a Florida church’s plans to host a Quran-burning ceremony on Sept. 11.

In a statement carried by local media on Thursday, Al-Azhar’s Supreme Council in Egypt accused the church of “stirring up hate and discrimination” and called on other American churches to condemn the event.

The Dove World Outreach Center is planning to burn the Islamic holy text on church grounds in rememberance of the victims of 9/11. Organizers are using its website and social-networking sites like Facebook to promote the event.

The Gainesville church, which also campaigns against homosexuality, made headlines last year after distributing T-shirts that read “Islam is of the Devil.”
