MB: Burning the Quran will increase anti-Americanism in the Muslim world

MB: Burning the Quran will increase anti-Americanism in the Muslim world

 In a recent statement, media spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood Dr. Essam l-Erian described the scheduled “Quran burning” as a “barbaric act, reminiscent of the Inquisition” .

Al-Erian, a member of the group’s executive bureau, warned that the event planned by the Dove World Outreach Centre, a small church in Gainesville, Florida, would definitely fan Muslim hatred of the United States. The MB, which enjoys much popularity despite being targeted by Egypt’s regime holds a fifth of the seats in parliament where they ran as independents in the 2005 elections.

Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State, condemned the event stressing that the plans which are scheduled to take place on September 11 in commemoration of the attacks nine years earlier are nothing short of a disgrace.
