The State Department of the United States of America did not approve the proposal received from the American priest, the essence of which is to note the next anniversary of the 9/11 burning of the Qur’an. According to Sky News provided by the Sky News news agency, Hillary Clinton called the idea presented by the Pastor “unworthy and disrespectful”.
Also condemned the proposal of the burning of the Qur’an and many other senior members of the state administration and military command of the United States. So, for example, General David Petreus, the commander of the American troops in Afghanistan, said that the action proposed by the priest would increase the threat of security of the US soldiers abroad.
According to Eric Holder — the US Prosecutor General, the pastor idea of burning the Qur’an is “not only idiotic, but also dangerous,” and representatives of various American faiths and religious communities supported the opinion that such a proposal to honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is unacceptable.
Recall that his intention on September 11 of this year publicly burned the Koran was expressed by the scandalously famous Florida evangelist Terry Jones. Thus, he wants to pay tribute to all people who were “brutally killed” during the terrorist attacks that happened nine years ago. Also, according to the pastor, such a promotion should serve as a clear warning for “Islamist radicals”.
“Sky News” also reports that after Terry Jones announced the date of the attacks of 9/11 “The Day of the Burning of the Qur’an”, he was sent more than 100 letters with various kinds of threats, which, in turn, forced the priest to carry a gun with him. However, against the warning and convictions by the government, the Evangelist announced that in any case he would fulfill his intention.
