White House spokesman Robert Gibbs has described a U.S. church's threat to burn copies of the Quran as "un-American" and warned that such actions could endanger U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

A Florida pastor's call on his followers to mark the forthcoming 9/11 anniversary by burning several copies of the Islamic holy book has sparked an angry reaction in the Islamic world and, according to media reports, was also condemned by some Christian organizations.

"We're very conscious of what has been discussed as potential actions down in Florida at the end of this week. We think that these are provocative acts, they are disrespectful, they're intolerant, they're divisive, and we're conscious that a number of voices have come out and rejected what this pastor and this community have proposed," Crowley said.

"First of all, people need to understand that in this country, we have freedom of religion, we have a tradition of religious tolerance, we also have freedom of expression. We believe that these are fundamental principles of U.S. society," he said.

NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, David Petraeus, as have also condemned the Florida church's initiative.

General Secretary of the Global Islamic League, Abdallah Ben Abdel Mohsen At-Turki, has described the move as "an expression of extreme rage and impudence."

    Burning the Qur’an is just like burning the Bible. If you have ever seen the Qur’an it contains the same stories as the Bible only written 200 years later. I know this for a fact as I have a copy of the Qur’an and spoke to a person who avidly follows the Christian faith.

    For a minister to burn the Qur’an shows a great deal of ignorance on his part.

    For him to burn the Qur’an as retribution for the acts of 911 shows an even getter degree of ignorance.

    The World Trade Center Towers in New York City were destroyed by the United States Government administration of George Bush in co-operation with the United States military and other business interests that would profit from the event. Larry Silverstein was the owner of the World Trade Center Towers who had purchased them and obtained terrorist destruction insurance specifically for this event. George Bush's brother and the company he worked for was also involved in this event as the insurer.

    The purpose of the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers was many fold. The two biggest reasons however were two remove two obsolete towers from the New York Skyline that could not obtain official demolition permits. (Several attempts had been made unsuccessfully. The twin towers had a serious asbestos problem and it was to be too expensive to fix. It was cheaper to demolish the twin towers but all attempts to obtain permits were refused by New York City.) The other reason was to enrage the American public to such a degree as to allow the United States Government to declare war and invade the two countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. The invasion or Iraq was to take control of the oil fields that used to be in US business interests. The invasion of Afghanistan is also energy related.

    There were many money profiting angles to this destruction including shorting the airline stocks and the tons of gold bullion stored underneath the towers. It is rumored that a certain amount of this gold bullion was used to finance the Iraq and Afghanistan war. I can neither confirm nor deny this allegation.

    The destruction of the World Trade Center towers was a perfectly planned demolition to minimize the loss of life. September 11 was the quietest day at the towers to minimize loss of life. The towers were insured by Larry Silverstein by George Bush's brother's company for this planned demolition, which all Americans have now paid for in their raised insurance premiums.

    It has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the jets hitting the twin towers could not have caused their collapse. Similar incidents had happened around the world and no towers had collapsed. The twin towers were collapsed at the base by a small nuclear warhead, followed by timed charges placed strategically throughout the building. The detonation of the small nuclear warhead was recorded as a small earthquake just prior to the destruction of the world Trade Center Towers. The detonation of the subsequent charges to control the collapse can be seen in the videos of the twin towers destruction. It is a perfect gravity fall from the base of the towers not where the planes impacted the towers.

    The source of this information on the planned destruction of the World Trade Center Towers is in the DVD video "Loose Change V2" narrated by Charlie Sheen. This video is very well done.

    Many Americans will disagree with these comments, but it still does not change the truth. Foreign terrorists were NOT responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers, it was a US Government, US Military, private business operation to accomplish several goals with a minimum loss of life to enrage the American public. However lives had to be lost to accomplish the US Government objectives to enrage the American public and ensure their support of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars to follow, which at the time the United States Administration felt was necessary.

    I was fooled for five years until the “Loose Change V2” DVD was released narrated by Charlie Sheen in 2006.

    Afterwards I felt like a fool. Governments will do these things to motivate their citizens to action. It happens all the time. The Nazi's did it to start World War II, the Bush Administration did it on Sept 11, 2001. It happens. People must always be wary and question events such as this when they happen. The administration of George Bush and the Republican Party was removed from power when these allegations came to light in 2006. Americans in general were very angry at George Bush's destruction of American goodwill around the world due to this event and his administrations other foreign policies.

    The operation of 911 was a complete success. The obsolete World Trade Center Twin Towers were destroyed, Iraq and Afghanistan were invaded and the oil facilities in Iraq secured and transferred back to US business interests.

    President Barack Obama has since fixed most of the damage caused by former President George Bush and his administration. The administration of former President George Bush is widely regarded as the worst in United States history. The events of 911 firmly support this worldwide opinion.

    To avenge 911 victims by burning the Qur’an is misdirected anger and wrong from so many angles.
