The 12^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks did not pass in an honorable manner for the anti-Islamic American Priest Terry Jones. He was arrested by Florida police yesterday before he could commit another crime against Islam. Jones had decided to burn about 3,000 copies of the Holy Qur'ān.

Jones had placed the kerosene-soaked copies and a grill in the trunk of his truck and was on his way to a public park in Mulberry, Florida. His plan was to burn 2,998 copies of the book, in reference to the number of victims of the 9/11 attacks. Police arrested him before he could start burning the copies. Cameras were seized that were intended to broadcast the burning online (Author not mentioned, al-Masry al-Yawm, Sept. 14). Read original text in Arabic.
