By Paul Marshall – “Iran’s official Fars news agency reports that the Iranian Foreign Ministry ‘strongly condemned the recent insult to the Muslims’ holy book in the US state of Florida, and warned that Washington attempts to spread Islamophobia in the world.’ Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast condemned the “abhorrent” crime as ‘contributing to US hegemonic plots, which seek to create a rift between divine religions.’

The event in question occurred last Sunday, when preacher Wayne Sapp set fire to a copy of the Quran in Florida. Sapp is a member of the Dove World Outreach Center, headed by Pastor Terry Jones, who famously threatened to burn a Quran last September 11, and achieved short-lived fame.

NRO readers may remember that Iran recently suspended Hohabet News after it reported that the Iranian government itself had seized and burned 600 New Testaments in Salmas.”  Read more.
