Evangelical leaders decry church plans to burn Qur’ans
The National Association of Evangelicals has condemned plans by a Florida church to burn copies of the Qur'an on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"The proposed burning of Qur'ans would be profoundly offensive to Muslims worldwide, just as Christians would be insulted by the burning of Bibles," the NAE said in a statement on July 29. "Such an act would escalate tensions between members of the two faiths in the United States and around the world."
