Christians tear Quran near White House
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."
