Don't burn the Quran: UN envoy
An announcement by a small religious group in the United States that it intends to burn copies of the Quran has raised concern at the United Nations in Afghanistan.
Staffan de Mistura
The top United Nations envoy for the country, Staffan de Mistura says he's outraged by the announcement and is calling on the group to cancel the threat.
Mr. de Mistura points out that "the exercise of the freedom of expression should not be confused with the intention to offend the religion and beliefs of millions of people."
He warns that such an act could also put in jeopardy the efforts of many Afghans and foreigners who are trying to assist Afghanistan to find its own way to peace and stability within its own culture, tradition and religion.
