Evangelical leaders said the plans should be canceled.
"The most powerful statement by the organizers of the planned Sept. 11th bonfire would be to call it off in the name and love of Jesus Christ," said NAE President Leith Anderson.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization, joined the NAE in condemning the plans.
"The burning of the book holy to the world's Muslims is morally repugnant," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the center's associate dean, and Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, the center's interfaith director, in a statement.
"We urge leaders of this church to cancel this despicable act, which will certainly spawn a wave of new recruits for Islamist extremism and terrorism."
Separately, leaders of the Baptist World Alliance warned against stereotyping Islam at their global assembly in Honolulu, Associated Baptist Press reported.
"As an American and a Christian, I am alarmed by the growing marginalization of Muslims in the United States — and especially disturbed that American Christians do not defend our Muslim neighbors more courageously," said Robert Sellers, missions professor at Hardin-Simmons University's Logsdon School of Theology in Abilene, Texas.

We know that despite the call to stop this ridiculous act there will be some determined and mindless people who continue to insist that they must do it to prove.........what I am not sure. Let them know that even if they burnt a Quran a day they will not be able to rid the world of Qurans, it is a futile exercise.
This Quran burning will not incite me to burn no bibles I have enough respect for the bible and Christians than to burn it.
Muslims the world over memorise the Quran too and it is taught all over the world, not to mention it being available on many websites sites. So even if someone bunt your copy, lol, dont worry you can always get an online copy like this one below, just one of many.
Peace and love to all the Christians who are above burning books and who are a much better example.
