ISLAMABAD (AFP) – President Asif Ali Zardari has condemned as “despicable” a US church’s plan to burn the Holy Quran on September 11, saying it could inflame Muslim sentiment across the world, a statement from his office said Thursday.
President Zardari said “anyone who even thought of such a despicable act must be suffering from a diseased mind and a sickly soul,” according to the statement.
“It will inflame sentiments among Muslims throughout the world and cause irreparable damage to interfaith harmony and also to world peace,” the statement quoted Zardari as saying.
“The President called for doing all that it takes to stop such a senseless and outrageous act,” the statement added.
Foreign Ministry has also spoken out against the plan.
“Pakistan strongly condemns and denounces the planned shameful burning of 200 copies of the Holy Quran by a small Florida Church on September 11,” foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit told a press briefing in Islamabad.
“The government and the people of Pakistan including Christians, are outraged at this planned act by a self-proclaimed pastor,” he said.
Basit urged believers of all faiths to “strongly condemn this fanatic approach and oppose those, who in the name of freedom and liberty, are resorting to bigotry and undermining the work that has been done towards promoting interfaith harmony since 9/11”.
In Multan, the demonstrators burned the American flag to express their anger and held placards that read: “Down with America” and “Blasphemy Unacceptable”.
