Florida Preacher Burns Quran As Pastor Terry Jones Watches On

Evangelical preacher Wayne Sapp yesterday burnt a copy of the Muslim holy book the Quran as controversial pastor Terry Jones looked on in a Florida church, reports the AFP.

Jones drew a storm of controversy last year for his plans to burn copies of the Qur'an on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in New York. The Qur'an burning was presented as an event where the Qur'an was put on trial and convicted of crimes.

The Qur'an was soaked in kerosene for an hour before being set alight while onlookers took pictures.

Jones defended his involvement saying he had attempted to :” give the Muslim world an opportunity to defend their book” but received no response.
