From Nigeria-
A large number of Muslim and Christian organisations held protest rallies against the desecration of the holy Quran by US Pastor Terry Jones, across the provincial metropolis on Thursday, demanding Muslim countries to boycott the United States.
The protesters also burnt an effigy of the US pastor and urged the US authorities as well as the international community to take strict action against Jones. The participants were carrying placards, banners and posters inscribed with slogans against the pastor.
The protesting organisations included Tehreek Tahafuz Haquq Ahal-i-Sunnat Pakistan, World Peace International, Young Muslims International, Community Development Initiative, National Council for Interfaith Dialogue, United Religious Initiative, Justice and Peace Commission and others.
Prominent figures among the protesters were MNA Akram Masih Gill, Sahabzada Abdul Majeed Jan, Haji Majeed Mufti, MA Khalid, Dr Javed Farooq, Chaudhry Rehmat, Napolean Qayyum, Father Abid Habib, Pastor Shahid Mirage, Feroza Naz, Tabassam Naz, Kanwal Feroze, Khurram Shahzad Mann and Niaz Ahmad. They all condemned the desecration of the holy Quran by Jones.
