U.S. General: Burned Quran

Alquran Dibakar - Plan on burning the Quran by a small sect leader in Florida, United States (U.S.), inviting a wave of demonstrations across the world, including in Afghanistan.

United States Army (USA) in the country are worried that Afghan anger over the plan would endanger their souls.

These concerns emerged when some protesters are angry because the plan is stoned a convoy of U.S. soldiers with stones. Anti-American sentiment is also re-emerged, burned American flags and shouting "Death to America" formations among the demonstrators.

"America will not be able to destroy the Muslims of the world," said one of the Afghans, as quoted from the ABC News page.

They condemned the burning of Al-Quran plan by Terry Jones, a pastor a small sect in Florida under the Dove World Outreach Center. Jones is the author of "Islam is of the Devil" which reaped a lot of controversy. Arson, according to Jones, will be carried out on 11 September.

U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, who only a few months in charge, saw this as a threat to the salvation army.

"It will endanger our troops and threaten the success of our efforts here," said Petraeus.

Petraeus adviser who is a former U.S. Army deputy chief of staff, Jack Keane, said today that arson as something crazy and an insult to Muslims.

"The plan is also an insult to the main purpose of our troops and their commitment to this country and the Muslims in it," said Keane.

However, the wave of protest and insult seemed unable to make Jones the idea. He even vowed to launch the plan remain, ignored the problem to be faced by the country's troops in Afghanistan.

"What we have done this had been planned long ago, we revealed that Islam is more violent, larger than what we say," Jones said in an interview with ABC television station.
