Google Oneindia News

Washington, Sep 12: In the name of "charade of Islam", on the 9/11 attack anniversary, a small group of conservative Christians tore some pages from a Quran infront of the White House on Sep 11.

The protesters cried, "Part of why we're doing that, please hear me: the charade that Islam is a peaceful religion must end."

The protesters also pointed out some of the Quran passages, which describe hatred against Christians and Jews.

However, one of the protesters claimed, "The only reason I will not burn it at the White House is because to burn anything on the Capitol grounds is a felony."

He continued, "The Twin Towers were taken down because of the Koran and other religious teachings."

US President Barack Obama urged on the ninth anniversary of 9/11, "As Americans we will not and never will be at war with Islam."

He also added, "Islam was not the enemy, it was al-Qaeda, who attacked on 9/11."
