Man burns Koran pages at site of controversial New York City mosque​

A HATE-filled protester was escorted away from the mosque site near New York City's Ground Zero today after tearing apart a Koran and burning some of the pages - an early sign that the rancor was ramping up as numerous protests were set to begin on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.



The man, who refused to identify himself, walked up the corner of Murray and Church sts in downtown Manhattan with a green Koran in his hands. Amid a crowd of protesters and media, he first tore a page from the holy book and tossed it into the air.



He then ripped a couple of more pages from the book and lit them on fire.



Some in the emotional, highly charged crowd milling around him shouted down the mystery man, who said little as police escorted him to safety a few blocks away.



The Koran-burning man refused to identify himself. The message is more important than the name, was all he would say.



The fiery political statement recalled the condemnations of Florida Pastor Terry Jones, who for days said he planned to burn the Koran on 9/11 but recanted that.

Argh! I still don't find how the community centre is at all 'controversial'...

Perhaps the news site should have balanced that story with one from the Palestinian areas where they were burning crosses, Bibles, and American Flags last week.



Burning anybody's holy book solves nothing, and simply shows your own ignorance.



And it gets you on TV, which was that Florida arsewholes entire point.



As for the Community Center, I think it was a bad choice at the wrong time.



I also believe that if somebody had wanted to build a Christian church in that same spot the old factory building would have been declared historic in about thirty seconds.

I see it like this. If a white person says n-word it's seen as Oh my fucking God you racist but if a black person says anything remotely similar to a white person it's fine, no one gives a shit.



A man burns the Muslim holy book and people cause an uproar about it. If someone however were to burn the Bible, would there be as much fuss? No. There wouldn't.

Who cares what book he's burning. Let him burn a book if he wants.
