Cancel 'Burn a Koran' on 9-11
By: Ahmed Malik

"And when it is said to them: "Create not disorder on the earth," they say: "We are only promoters of peace." (Quran 2:12)

Yes Pastor Terry Jones, this is a verse from the Quran you plan to burn on September 11th, 2010, nine years after the tragic events at the World Trade Center. If you take a closer look at the Quran, you will see that it devotes an entire chapter to Jesus' mother Mary. If you have not already realized this, if you burn the Quran on 9/11, it will create havoc in a world full of hate.

I am a proud member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community whose motto is "Love for All, Hatred for none" (www.muslimsforpeace.org). But unlike myself, there are extremists who will exploit the event to strengthen their cause. A "Burn a Koran" day will only strengthen the conflict between Muslims and Americans.

If you desire peace, cancel the "Burn a Koran" day
