Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), Evangelical and Jewish groups are calling plans by a Gainsville, Fla., church to burn the Islamic holy book on 9/11 both destructive and 'morally repugnant.'
The Simon Wiesenthal Center -- an international Jewish human rights group -- joined the Christian community in condemning the proposal.
"Sept. 11 should be a day for prayers for the 9/11 victims and their families and redoubling our resolve to defeat al Qaeda and all other terrorists bent on our nation's destruction," the center's associate dean Rabbi Abraham Cooper, and Interfaith Director Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, said in a statement.
"The burning of the book holy to the world's Muslims is morally repugnant," they continued. "We urge leaders of this church to cancel this despicable act, which will certainly spawn a wave of new recruits for Islamist extremism and terrorism."
