Imran Firasat, the Pakistani-born ex-Muslim settled in Spain – who recently created controversy by petitioning the Spanish government to ban the Quran because of its violent contents – is in the spotlight again. This time, it is over his plan to burn the Quran.

According to Imran, in his next step to stop Islamization of the world, he declared to the media and informed the government that he would burn the Quran publicly in Madrid. He said, he wants to burn the Quran to draw people’s attention to the fact that "t is a violent book which is completely incompatible with our modern society.”

Naturally, Imran is receiving numerous death-threats from Muslims. And the Spanish police also summoned him, and threatened that should he proceed with burning the Quran, they will prosecute him for hurting the religious feelings of Muslims.

The police also told him: "Why don’t you just leave Spain, go somewhere else and burn Quran?”

Imran maintains that his actions are not intended to hurt the feelings of Muslims, "but I am taking an action that seems to me necessary against a book that gives the messages of the jihad, to kill, hatred, violence and discrimination and that in no sense is compatible with the Spanish regulation".

Despite the threats of prosecution and likely deportation by the Spanish police, Imran said: "I will continue my fight against Islam. I will burn Quran publicly. No matter even if I get killed. The fight against Islam needs sacrifices.”
