US accountable for Quran desecration

A senior Iranian lawmaker has held Washington accountable for all consequences resulting from the provocative desecration of the holy Quran in the United States.

“US police reluctance to react to such sacrilegious action indicates Washington’s green light to such a heinous crime,” Head of National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) Alaeddin Boroujerdi told the Fars news agency on Tuesday.

Boroujerdi, however, termed the US as the main loser of this dangerous game, saying the action lumps the Obama administration together with that of the Bush.

“The US government should take serious action against the perpetrators of this provocative move and declare its stance on that regard,” Boroujerdi went on to say.

Prior to this year’s anniversary of the September 11 attacks, an extremist Florida pastor, Terry Jones, officially declared that he would set the Quran on fire, but he was forced to call off his decision after he faced international condemnation.

Yet, some anti-Islam protestors burned pages of the Muslim’s holy book on September 11, facing no police intervention or reaction whatsoever.

Meanwhile, another group tore some pages of the holy Quran in front of the White House.

The insulting move triggered angry protests across the world, particularly in Muslim states.
