Burning of Koran

Asked for the Prime Minister’s view on the US pastor calling on people to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11, the PMS said that primarily this was an issue for the US, but the government’s view was that we would not condone the burning of any book. We would strongly oppose any attempt to offend members of any religious or ethnic group; we were committed to religious tolerance.
