DIYARBAKIR (Turkey) (AFP) Some 30,000 people took to the streets in southeast Turkey Sunday against plans by a US church - cancelled days ago - to burn copies of the Holy Quran. The crowd gathered in Diyarbakir, the largest city of the mainly-Kurdish southeast, brandishing copies of the holy book of Islam and chanting slogans against the US and Israel. We will sacrifice our soul and blood for the Holy Quran, the demonstrators chanted. Zionists and Crusaders are hand-in-hand. Where are the Muslims? one banner read. The crowd dispersed after burning US and Israeli flags. An evangelical Florida pastor had triggered international outrage earlier this month after he threatened to burn a pile of Holy Qurans to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. He then dropped the plan.
