President of Germany's Central Council of Jews says plan of Florida pastor is part of 'anti-Muslim frenzy' in the run up to Sept. 11 memorial.


Germany's leading Jewish group condemned plans by a Florida pastor to burn the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11, saying it evoked the mass killings of Jews in the Holocaust that followed Nazi book burnings.

Wednesday's statement by Charlotte Knobloch, president of Germany's Central Council of Jews, adds to voices from U.S. religious leaders who have condemned an "anti-Muslim frenzy" in the run up to memorial services for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington by Islamist extremists.

"The idea is terrible and repulsive," she said of plans by Terry Jones, the pastor of a 30-person church in Gainesville, Florida, to burn a copy of Islam's holy book on Saturday.

Knobloch said the planned action by the Dove World Outreach Center reminded her of the burning of "un-German" literature organized by the Nazi party in 1933 that foreshadowed the killing of some 6 million Jews during World War Two.

"Where people burn books, in the end they burn people," she said in a statement, referring to a quotation from 19th century German author Heinrich Heine inscribed on a plaque in central Berlin where the Nazis burned books.

German media reported on Wednesday that Jones founded a Christian congregation in the western city of Cologne in the 1980s. The group, known as the Christliche Gemeinde Koeln (CGK), confirmed this but said it had severed ties with Jones.

A spokesman for the Cologne-based group told Reuters they were appalled by Jones' plans to burn the Muslim scriptures.

Effect of EuroCommunism. They should have at least kept silent.

It really is disgusting to see these self-hating leftist idiotic Jews draw an equivalence between the situation of Muslims in America today with that of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

I guess they would cry out in outrage if copies of Mein Kampf were destroyed.

Culturally German. Why wouldn't they?

I think Charlotte Knobloch has a problem with her moral compass. Perhaps her analogy makes sense for someone who has no idea of the nature of Naziism and Islam. But burning books can be an act that is actually liked by G-d, at least from a Christian perspective. There is an example in the Bible where people burned occult books in a greek town.

I think the quran is a book, that G-d likes to be burned. In a central point that is important for the whole salvific history for Jews namly the election of Isaak over Ismael the quran turnes the story upside down, as well as for Christians it denies the death of Jesus at the cross.

In addition to this wicked claims, it encourages the believers of it to murder all infidels.

I think Heinrich Heine would not have liked to be quoted in this context.

I wanted to write the same thing. Some of you might think it is easy to be Jew in Europe today or even Christian.

Then they should move to Israel.
