Protest Rallies Planned for Friday
-- The Dar-ol-Quran Kareem Organization has called on Iranians to take part in the rallies this Friday in protest against defiling the holy Quran in the US.
The rallies will take place in cities across the country after Friday prayers.
The Council for Coordination of Islamic Propagation also issued a statement inviting all Muslims and other people of conscience in the world to attend rallies this Friday to express their anger and condemn desecration of Islam’s holy book.
Protest rallies were held yesterday in Tehran’s Palestine Square as well as in 12 other cities to denounce burning copies of the Quran in a number of US cities.
Although Florida pastor Terry Jones did not burn the Quran as he had planned to, a number of Quran burning incidents took place in Tennessee, Washington D.C., New York and East Lansing, Michigan, on the anniversary of September 11 attacks, sparking anger in the Islamic world and drawing condemnations from Muslim and non-Muslim leaders.
