The Novinite (Bulgarian) website reports today (September 8, 2010) that the European Union (EU) has condemned the plans of a Christian pastor from Florida to burn copies of the Muslims' holy book, the Koran.
"The High Representative respects all kinds of religious beliefs and this is not the right way to go," said Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy.
Pastor Terry Jones from an evangelical Christian Church in Gainesville, Florida has announced that by burning copies of the Koran, he would mark the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attacks in the U.S.
The U.S. government has also publicly condemned Pastor Jones' Koran-burning plans; however, Pastor Jones reiterated today that he still intends to proceed with them.
