US President Barack Obama says plans by a small church to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 are a "recruitment bonanza" for al-Qaeda. Mr Obama said if the burning went ahead in Gainesville, Florida, it could endanger US military personnel serving in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The plan has drawn widespread international condemnation. Do you agree with President Obama's statement.

I agree with President Obama. Every person and race have different beliefs and each of us should respect that. So what if the tables are turned and the Muslims will burn the Holy Bible? Obviously Christians will also condemn this kind act. I hope that person responsible in leading to burn the Koran will think twice or many times about the consequences of his act. He is not the only one who will get affected by this. You cannot blame the Muslims if they retaliate to the US Military serving in Pakistan and Afghanistan or worst make war. The sin of one person or group like the Al-Qaeda is not the sin of all Muslims. Koran represents the beliefs of the Muslims to their God Allah just like the Holy Bible in Christians.

I agree with you. Multitudes should not suffer for the sins of an individual or a group of elements. Thanks for your point theplanner.
