The United States today strongly condemned any plan to burn holy Quran. The US Ambassador in New Delhi Timothy Roemer who held discussions with the Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambarm in New Delhi today said that it is highly disrespectful, divisive and disruptive. Mr. Timothy Roemer said that it does not reflect the US values. In reply to a question from reporters he said that Indo-US cooperation in counter terrorism also came up for discussion in the meeting with the Home Minister. Elaborating on this, he said, they included tactical and strategic issues. While strongly condemnding the plan, the Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram has appealed to media to help in the efforts in maintaining communal harmony in view of reported threats from US church Pastor to burn the holy book. While expressing hope that the US authorities will take strong action to prevent such outrage to be committed. The Reverend Terry Jones said yesterday that he called off his protest because he had reached an agreement with Muslim leaders to move a planned Islamic cultural center and mosque away from the site of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York. A Muslim cleric who appeared with Jones in Florida, Imam Muhammad Musri, said he and Jones would travel to New York tomorrow to discuss moving the proposed mosque. Musri said he had arranged for a meeting with the New York imam who heads the project, Feisal Abdul Rauf, to discuss moving the Islamic cultural center. But Musri said he had not yet received any assurances the center would actually be moved. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Jones yesterday and urged him not to go ahead with the Quran burning, telling the Florida pastor his plan would put the lives of U.S. soliders at risk. Jones said moving the planned Islamic cultural center in New York would accomplish his church's goals because, he said, “the American people do not want the mosque at the ground zero location.” Jones heads the small Dove World Outreach Center church in Gainesville, Florida. President Barack Obama and other U.S. and international political and religious leaders have spoken out against the plans to burn copies of the Quran. He called that burning the Quran an attention-seeking “stunt” that could endanger U.S. troops. The U.S. State Department issued a worldwide travel alert yesterday warning U.S. citizens of the potential for anti-U.S. demonstrations in other countries in response to the Quran burning plans.
