Travel Alert U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Bureau of Consular Affairs Print
September 09, 2010
Worldwide - Qur'an Burning
The Department of State is issuing this Travel Alert to caution U.S. citizens of the potential for anti-U.S. demonstrations in many countries in response to stated plans by a church in Florida to burn Qur'ans on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Demonstrations, some violent, have already taken place in several countries, including Afghanistan and Indonesia, in response to media reports of the church's plans. The potential for further protests and demonstrations, some of which may turn violent, remains high. We urge you to pay attention to local reaction to the situation, and to avoid areas where demonstrations may take place. This Travel Alert expires on September 30, 2010.
We also remind you of the continuing threat to U.S. interests and citizens posed by various terrorist groups, as outlined in the Department's Worldwide Caution.
U.S. citizens living or traveling abroad are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department's travel registration website at in order that they can obtain updated information on travel and security. U.S. citizens without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. By registering, U.S. citizens make it easier for the Embassy or Consulate to contact them in case of emergency.
U.S. government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
As the Department of State continues to develop information on potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its Consular Information Program documents, such as the Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well as Country Information, which are available on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website at http://travel.state.gov/. In addition to information on the Internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada or, outside the United States and Canada, on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday, Eastern Time (except U.S. federal holidays).
The last I heard, the book burning event was suspended.
But, fyi fwiw.

Worldwide - Qur’an Burning [Travel Alert]
Cool!!! The State Department is putting out information on where to go for Quran burnings !!
I’ll check Southwest’s Super Savers for locations in the states. Maybe they’ll have some last minute vacation deals !
Too bad.
Heaven is probably planning a roast tomorrow as well...might as well join the fun..
a few harps and God’s rock band, some exotic heavenly food on the barbie, maybe a little JC primo and a Koran roasting on the pit fire..
Good morning no-to-illegals.
OPINION:
The global jihad/gwot is 24/7 so at least to me, it really doesn’t matter what day/date it is.
Of course, as we remember the attacks on September 11, 2001; it does give us a stark reminder that anything/anywhere can happen.
Prayer, prevention, monitoring, our leos, alphas, military in action; all help to reduce to the threat as much as possible.
Never forget.
These Muzzies sure are touchy critters. There is something way wrong with this so called religion at all levels.
And the piglet will still be outraged and have anti American demonstrations worldwide whether the koran is burnt or not just because that’s all they are capable of—outrage and murder.
The Department of State is issuing this Travel Alert to caution U.S. citizens of the potential for anti-U.S.
Nothing but a ploy to back up Hussein Obama.
What about the economy and unemployment?...Never let a good crisis go to waste. I wonder if they’ll keep this alive until November. Jones and Phelps are part of the VRWC after all. Quran Book Burning, day 40 with Ted Koppel... I hate the MSM!!!
Confirming that this message was received by my son (who has returned home) from the consulate in Cape Town, South Africa
