Anti-Muslim propaganda

The Dove World Outreach Center, a church in Gainesville, Florida
plans on protesting the terrorist attacks of the World Trade Center
by conducting the "International Burn a Koran Day" on the 9th Anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.
They've even made a Facebook page
inviting Christians to burn the Muslim equivalent of the Bible from 6pm to 9pm.
Head of the church Pastor Terry Jones formerly wrote a book entitled "Islam is of the Devil"
even going so far as to give out t-shirts emblazoned with the title.
General Petraeus warns the act will "endanger troops"
and the FBI has cautioned of the possibility of terrorist attacks by extremists seeking vengeance.

It's just one heinous event in a string of recent acts of anti-sentiment towards Muslims.
From the FBI planting spies in US mosques
to the controversy which has sprung hatred over
the prospect of the Ground Zero Mosque
which is actually a Cultural Center not a Mosque,
and would be located several blocks from Ground Zero (1/10th of a mile)
