Quran-burning US pastor adds more fuel to fire
GAINSVILLE: The US pastor, whose burning of a Quran sparked deadly violence in Afghanistan, has called for "immediate" US and UN action against its perpetrators, saying the whole religion of Islam must be held accountable.
"Islam is not a religion of peace," Dove World Outreach Centre pastor Terry Jones said in a statement issued after seven foreign UN workers had been killed in Afghanistan by protesters angered by the Quran burning, in the deadliest attack on the UN there since the 2001 invasion. "The time has come to hold Islam accountable," he added.
Jones called the killings "a very tragic and criminal action ." "The US government and the UN itself, must take immediate action," he continued . "We must hold these countries and people accountable for what they have done as well as for any excuses they may use to promote their terrorist activities."
The controversial evangelical pastor said he and his supporters demanded action from the UN. "Muslim-dominated countries can no longer be allowed to spread their hate against Christians and minorities ," he said. "They must alter the laws that govern their countries to allow for individual freedoms and rights, such as the right to worship, free speech, and to move freely without fear of being attacked or killed."
Jones said he did not feel responsible for the Afghanistan killings. "We don't feel responsible for that. The radical element of Islam takes that as an excuse to promote their violent activities."
