Koran protest stokes emotions - Washington Times

Koran protest stokes emotions - Washington Times: "A proposed book-burning by an evangelical pastor in a Florida college town this weekend has inflamed sensitivities from Afghanistan to Washington, D.C., and added a new irritant to U.S. relations with Muslims abroad.

The Rev. Terry Jones, pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., said Tuesday that he will go ahead with his plans to burn copies of the Koran on Saturday in remembrance of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, even though U.S. officials said it could endanger U.S. troops, tourists and diplomats overseas."
