“Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) and “Down with America”
“Anti-American demonstrations are taking place in every part of the
country. The aim is to show the enemy the number of angry Muslims who
follow the Holy Koran
they burned,” Rage said. Florida pastor Terry Jones cancelled his plans at the weekend under
pressure from the White House, but the Somali group posted pictures of
individuals burning the holy Muslim book on its websites on Tuesday and
called the protest.
“The Americans are trying to hide these evil acts from the public but we know and we saw what they did,” Sheikh Ali Mohamoud Rage
, one of the insurgent group’s leaders and its main spokesman, told the crowd.
“This will draw immediate retaliation from the billions of Muslims around the world,” Rage said. The stadium in the war-battered city was filled with orderly rows of protestors listening to radical Shebab clerics and chanting “Allahu Akbar
” (God is greatest) and “Down with America”.
“This rally was very big today and everybody was very angry at the American devils who burned the Koran,” Mohamed Suleban, a demonstrator, told AFP. “I saw some pictures that were posted on the Internet showing two white guys burning the Koran. You cannot imagine how my heart felt,” he said. “We will kill Americans over this, we will make them regret it,” said Shueyb Hasan, another 18-year-old demonstrator.
Groups of women wearing head-to-toe black abayas held open Korans while some children were also encouraged to attend. One turbaned child no older than 10 could be seen brandishing a handgun and holding a Koran under his arm. “Today, brothers and sisters, we are here to voice our displeasure with this blatant desecration of our Koran by American church leaders,” Rage said.more

Rev. Jones cancels Quran burning, after given promise of mosque move
The White House added its voice to warnings that the move could
trigger outrage around the Islamic world and endanger the lives of US
soldiers. A spokeswoman for EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said the
European Union roundly “condemns” the plans. “The High Representative
respects all kinds of religious beliefs and this is not the right way
to go,” the spokesperson told reporters.
Arab League chief Amr Moussa dubbed Jones a “fanatic” and urged Americans to oppose his “destructive approach.” Moussa, who heads the 22-member pan-Arab body based in Cairo, said: “There is an increasing majority in the United States against this fanatic. “We want to see the reaction of the educated in the United States against this fanatic’s destructive approach,” he said.
US Attorney General Eric Holder met religious leaders to discuss ways of stemming the anti-Islam tide, with calls from the broad coalition of faiths to make a strong speech condemning hate crimes.more arabnews
– A Florida minister who had created an international furor with his plan to burn the Quran on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 canceled the event under intense pressure Thursday, saying he agreed to back off after reaching a deal to move the location of a controversial mosque near New York’s ground zero. The imam planning the New York mosque said no such deal has been reached.
The Rev. Terry Jones announced his decision Thursday afternoon, standing outside his small church alongside Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. However, Musri and the imam planning the New York mosque disputed Jones’ contention that a deal had been cut.
After the news conference, Musri told The Associated Press there was an agreement for him and Jones to travel to New York and meet Saturday – on the actual anniversary of the 9/11 attacks – with the imam overseeing plans to build a mosque near ground zero.
“I told the pastor that I personally believe the mosque should not be there, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is moved,” Musri said.more
Jones, the pastor of a Florida Pentecostal church of 50 members, has said that he believes the Quran is evil because it espouses something other than biblical truth and incites radical, violent behavior among Muslims.
Jones on Thursday said he prayed about the decision and that if the site of the mosque was moved, it would be a sign from God to call off the Quran burning.
“We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans,” Jones said during the news conference. We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it.”
His decision comes after a firestorm of criticism from leaders around the world. President Barack Obama, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan and several Christian leaders had urged Jones to reconsider his plans.more
