News Desk: Breaking News! In a condemnable incident, an unidentified low-profile man ripped pages out of a Quran and burnt them outside the proposed Community Center and Mosque near Ground Zero.

Even though Pastor of the Florida Church Terry Jones cancelled his plan to burn the Quran due to international pressure and criticism, the unidentified zealot did not bother and set the Quran pages on fire.

"If they can burn American flags, I can burn the Quran. Americans should never be afraid to give their opinion", he said. The news was first reported by the New York Daily News. Even the Americans termed the act of burning Quran as 'ugly' and 'condemnable'.

In another incident near Nashville, Tennessee, evangelical Pastor Bob Old and another man burnt at least two copies of the Quran, drawing criticism and rebuke from other people.

The call of 'Burn A Quran' was first made by Terry Jones, the Pastor of Dove World Outreach Centre church in Gainesville, Florida. He later cancelled his plan.

There’s been talk about whether the zealot, tagged as a Christian and a local Tea-Party leader, was actually a plant. Any conclusions about this, anyone?

I don’t think so. I think he was just an American letting it be known that we can’t be told what to do by rioting savages.

yesterday, for 9-11, we ate pork ribs, pork chops, and ham slices, I kid you not. Today we kept the party going with a pork roast. Tomorrow, barbecued pork sandwiches are on the menu.

That hadn’t occurred to me but it is EXACTLY the sort of thing the Left in this country thrives on doing! I think you might have nailed this one.

So I wonder, has anyone with his local Tea Party claimed him?

Nifty, I can add 'zealot' to my resume now..not that I burned one yesterday, but I was thinking about downloading a few pages of the Koran and setting it ablaze - but I didn't want to use up my ink....

“I think he was just an American letting it be known that we can’t be told what to do by rioting savages”

He was a westboro(fake)baptist wannabe who wanted 15 minutes of fame in safety while arab and other sorts of Christians live amongst the savages. I don’t think he would be so keen if he had Christian family memebers living in Islamic controlled areas.

If I can’t legally get upset about flag burning I do not know why on earth I should care about Koran burning.

Some say it will provoke more Islamic violence, but that is impossible to prove. There has been plenty of Islamic violence without it.

I loved it! Some of you can kiss muslim a$$ and condemn him but I cheered when I saw him do it. Time for a new crusade.

I thrive on Islamic rage personally. It gives us an excuse to shoot them.

I totally support him. The idea that we should knuckle under their threats is pathetic.
