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 US religious leaders who have condemned an 'anti-Muslim frenzy' in the run up to memorial services for victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington by Islamist extremists."
