Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in a statement released Thursday night, said: "While we denounce the assault on the Holy Koran and stress the importance of not letting this occur, we urge Muslims, whereever they are, to exercise the utmost restraint."
"Do not do what would hurt the followers of the church," he said.

At least someone is urging restraint by Muslims over the protest. Our president certainly isn’t.
Gee, thanks dude with the funny hat.
He lies!!
I be damn....who’d a thought!!!!
Thank you, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani!
That’s one.
in the Old Testament, God said that he would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if ten righteous men could be found there.
I suppose for the sake of the ten righteous Muslims who may be out there we should not be burning Korans or going out of our way to offend them.
Does not mean we should not fight back against nonsense like the Ground Zero Mosque.
How uncharacteristically benign, charitable, almost humanlike of them!
OUR PRESIDENT CERTAINLY ISN'T
Wow, you are right. Not word one to his muslim friends.
As the saying goes, “The most important words are those left unsaid”.
GREAT point. Thank you.
Iraq is about the only place where there are such things as muslim leaders who will occasionally speak out.
I guess that’s why Obama thinks the Iraq war wasn’t worth it.
Remember this “religion” permits them to lie in order to further their cause.
That, or there's already a Fatwa out against him.
Muslims can find a location where the US military is burning bibles, and join in.
“He lies!!
That, or there’s already a Fatwa out against him.”
For sure one of those old Potato heads gave this guy a thumbs down and sent the goons out.
Ayatollah Sistani has been praised by Vatican for advocating religious tolerance.
His lips are moving therefore he is lying.
These pseudo-christian morons have no concept of what Christianity is. Idiots like this and the Westboro cult are an abomination to Christianity.
Instead of watching and having media to comment on Dems' self-destruction and talking about very unpopular, divisive, detached from reality and inarticulate slacker president and elected Dems' corruption and running away from the horrible policies they just voted for, a few church "leaders" are engaging in stupid acts of "religious wars" or mindless demonstrations of "religious intolerance".
This only changes the narrative on the "news" and distracts from letting the Democrats and Obama self-annihilate and for everyone else to watch it on TV in the comfort of their own homes before the November referendum on them.

Clearly, few Napoleons among these "leaders": Tennessee preacher to burn Quran...
Topeka, Kansas church vows burning...
Protester plans to burn on Wyoming's Capitol steps...
Yes, it's pretty sad when a Shia ayatollah makes more sense than our own president, isn't it?
And we thought Jimmy Carter was bad.
Well, he was bad. But Obie has defined a new level of "bad."
