Submitted By Ahmed K. El-Shabazz

The following report  comes to Hiram 1555 by way of one of our readers. This ” Church” that is  planning to have a ” Burn a Holy Qur’an Day ”  is not only Anti-Muslim , it is also Anti-Christian !!

Again, to the Muslims in the East and the West, if the white Americans have a history of burning THEIR OWN SYMBOL OF CHRISTIANITY ( THE CROSS ), then you shouldnot be shocked nor be come mad at their evil actions of today. They, White Americans have even burned the Churches of Black Christians, and they have also burned Bibles . They, ( White American ) are, what we( in the Nation Of Islam who follow the Messenger Elijah Muhammad (pbuh)) have ALWAYS said, A RACE OF BLUE EYED DEVILS ! They are the Dajjal in Person, the Anti-Christ! And their action prove it.

Koran burning will endanger US lives: Petraeus
(AFP) – 2 hours ago

KABUL — The US commander of the Afghan war has warned that troops’ lives will be endangered if a Florida evangelical church goes ahead with a planned burning of the Koran on Saturday’s 9/11 anniversary.

General David Petraeus said the planned torching of Islam’s holy book would be a propaganda coup for the Taliban in Afghanistan and stoke anti-US sentiment across the Muslim world.

The Dove World Outreach Center at Gainesville, Florida says it will burn copies of the Koran on this weekend’s ninth anniversary of the September 11 airborne attacks in protest at what it calls “the evil of Islam”.

In an interview with Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal, Petraeus said of the event: “It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort.

“It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community,” he said.

The planned protest by the 50-member Florida congregation — whose Facebook page bears the motto “Islam Is Of The Devil” — has already triggered outrage in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country.

In late August about 100 Indonesian Islamists demonstrated outside the US embassy in Jakarta and threatened “jihad” or holy war if the US Christian group went through with the event.

Alleged desecration of the Koran by US troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq has been an incendiary issue in the past, including when a US soldier deployed to Iraq riddled a copy of the holy book with bullets in 2008.

A subsequent demonstration by about 2,000 people in central Afghanistan turned violent, with a Lithuanian soldier and two civilians killed in an exchange of gunfire between protestors and police.

The Florida church’s pastor, Terry Jones, said Petraeus’s concerns were “legitimate”.

But in a statement to the Wall Street Journal, he added: “We must send a clear message to the radical element of Islam. We will no longer be controlled and dominated by their fears and threats.”

Interviewed by AFP in July, Jones said: “Islam and Sharia law was responsible for 9/11.

“We will burn Korans because we think it’s time for Christians, for churches, for politicians to stand up and say no; Islam and Sharia law is not welcome in the US.”
