Pakistan's ambassador to the United States appealed on radio and television host Glenn Beck, conservative to denounce the burning of the Koran to show that Americans are tolerant of other religions.
"I think it would be helpful if Mr. Glenn Beck voted against it, saying that people of faith are not burning the books of other religions," Husain Haqqani told The Associated Press.
Beck wrote earlier this week in an Internet blog posting that the burning of the Koran is like burning the flag or the Bible - people can do something in the U.S., but should not.
"Our Muslim neighbors and good friends will be saddened," he writes. "It makes the battle they face in their own communities even more difficult."
Whether Haqqani was aware of the blog. A telephone message left with the Embassy of Pakistan did not immediately respond.
The diplomat warned that if Florida Pastor Terry Jones goes ahead with its plans to burn copies of the Koran, it triggered a massive reaction in parts of the Muslim world.Jones said he is still determined to go ahead with the protest at his church, despite pressure from the White House and other U.S. officials to cancel. Military commanders have warned that burning the Muslim holy book will inflame extremists and could trigger backlash against U.S. troops and citizens abroad."The United States must live up to its lofty ideals and all these people who are against religious extremism and intolerance in the Muslim world should also speak out against meaningless gestures such as the burning of the Koran," he Haqqani said.
He said that Pakistan's leaders understand the concept of freedom of expression and do what they can to manage the response in their countries.

Gainesville, Florida: A Christian minister said yesterday that it will proceed with plans to burn copies of the Holy Quran at the weekend to protest against the attacks of September 11, 2001, despite a warning from General American terrorist Afghanistan, which would endanger U.S. troops. Pastor Terry Jones of Dove World Outreach Center said he understands the concerns Gen. David Petraeus, but plans to go ahead with the fire on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the attack.
He left the door open to change his mind, however, saying that he is always praying on his decision. Petraeus warned yesterday in an e-mail to the AP that "images of a burning Koran might be used by extremists in Afghanistan and around the world to inflame public opinion and incite to violence. "Jones told the AP in a telephone interview that he is also concerned, but wondered how many times the U.S. can go back. Meanwhile, the White House yesterday raised concerns about Plan to burn an American church hOly Quran and supported his warning that Afghan warlord could send U.S. troops at risk.
The spokesman Robert Gibbs the White House reiterated comments by top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan General David Petraeus. "It puts our troops in danger, any kind of activity as one that puts our troops in danger is a concern of this administration," said Gibbs. A Vatican newspaper said yesterday Christians around the world protested against a plan by a U.S. Secretary of burning the Holy Quran on September 11 anniversary. "No one is burning the Koran," headlined yesterday's OsservatRomano ore. The article summarizes the criticisms of the Catholic bishops, including Archbishop Lawrence John Saldanha of Lahore, Pakistan, who have condemned the plan as "contrary to due respect for all religions and against our doctrine and faith.
The pastor said he had given "serious" the concerns expressed by General Petraeus said yesterday, but nevertheless "we have firmly made up our mind to go ahead with the plan." We believe it is time to turn the tables, and instead may accuse us of what might happen, we put the blame on its rightful people who would, he said. "And maybe instead of us respond, we must tackle radical Islam and sending a clear warning that they do not retaliate in any form.
Jones, who heads the small evangelical Christian church with a philosophy of anti-Islam, said he had received threats over 100 deaths and began to carry a .40 caliber pistol attached to his hip. The threats began shortly after the minister of 58 years, proclaimed in July that stage "International Day Burn Koran." The supporters have been sending copies of the Islamic holy text in the center of Dove animation world must be incinerated in a bonfire that night.
The fire department has denied Jones a burn permit required for September 11, but he pledged to go ahead with its event. He said lawyers had told him of his right to burn the Quran is protected by the First Amendment whether it has obtained permission from the city or not. The Muslims consider the Koran as the Word of God, and insist that it be treated with the utmost respect and any printed material containing his verses and the name of Allah or the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

In this city of Northeast Florida Progressive 125.000 anchored by the vast campus of the University of Florida, the preacher with the great white bushy mustache is mostly seen as a marginal character who does not deserve the attention it receives.
Yet at least two dozen Christian churches, Jewish temples and Muslim organizations have mobilized to Gainesville for the plan-inclusive events Some read the Quran for their own services to the weekend to counter what Jones did.

US criticises Koran burning plan
The Obama administration has said it is concerned about the proposed burning of the Koran by a religious group in the United States.
On Tuesday, the White House said it supported the recent comments of Gen. David Patraeus, the commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, that the fire could put U.S. troops in the country at risk.
"It puts our troops in danger, any kind of activity as one that puts our troops in danger is a concern of this administration," Robert Gibbs, spokesman for the White House said.
A group of the Church in Florida is planning to burn copies of the Muslim holy book, on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11.
Patraeus critical
Earlier Tuesday Patraeus said that the plan was disrespectful and could endanger the Western troops fighting the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
Patraeus said that the move could hurt attempts by Barack Obama, President, to reach the Muslim world and lead to retaliatory attacks against U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO secretary general also criticized the proposed combustor.
"I strongly condemn that ... I think that such actions are in stark contradiction with all the values that we defend and fight for, "he told reporters before a meeting with Obama in Washington.
"Of course, there is a risk, it may also have a negative impact on the safety of our troops."
An angry protest took place Monday in Afghanistan against the regime, and demonstrations were also observed in Indonesia, the world of the most populous Muslim nation.
However, the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, which is said to have about 50 members, said they would still go ahead with the fire.
Terry Jones, pastor of the church, said he had given "serious" the concerns expressed by General Petraeus, but the group had "firm up our mind on combustion.
Prosecutor General Meeting
Jones said the move aimed to "remember those who were brutally murdered on September 11, and send a warning to the radical element of Islam."
Last January, Afghan troops killed eight demonstrators and wounded 13 others in a riot triggered by a report that foreign troops had desecrated the Koran during a raid in the southern province of Helmand. A spokesman for the NATO denied the report.
Meanwhile, Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, was to meet with religious leaders of all faiths through Tuesday to discuss ways to stem a wave of attacks against Muslims and mosques.
The broad coalition in a statement that the meeting would discuss how the Department of Justice "may be taken against anti-Muslim hatred and increase violence and intimidation against American Muslims."
The meeting was scheduled for 4:00 p.m. (2000 GMT) Tuesday.
"After talking to many families across the country in recent weeks I have heard many American Muslims say they have never felt that this anxiety or insecurity in America since immediately after Sept. 11, Ingrid Mattson, the head of the Islamic Society of North America and one of the leaders meet Holder said.

Warnings against Quran burning plan
U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan have said that the plan of a small church in Florida to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of the attacks of September 11 attacks could endanger the lives of American troops.
Two senior U.S. military officials in Afghanistan said Monday the proposed burning of Muslim holy book could undermine the efforts of President Barack Obama to reach 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide.
They said it could trigger retaliation against U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
The warnings are in the midst of angry protests by hundreds of people in the Afghan capital, Kabul, chanting "Death to America" as they denounced the planned protest by burning the church at Dove World Outreach Center Gainesville, Florida.
The center, which calls itself a "New Testament, charismatic, nondenominational church," he said to go ahead with the burning of the Koran, on Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of the 2001 attacks against the United States USA.
Gainesville authorities said that the event violate fire safety rules.
"It could endanger the troops and could endanger the overall effort," David Petraeus, the U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan said in a statement to U.S. media organizations.
"This is precisely the kind of action and uses of the Taliban could cause significant problems. Not only here but around the world, we are engaged with the Islamic community. "
"Angry People"
Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, commander of the training mission to NATO in Afghanistan, told CNN that the news of the fire provided by the Qur'an Church little known in Florida was already angered people in Afghanistan.
"It's their holy book, so when someone says that they will destroy and cause a desecration of something very sacred to them is already generated much discussion and concern among citizens," he said .
"We really feel that this could compromise the safety of our men and women who serve here."
The U.S. embassy in Kabul said the U.S. government in any way condone such acts of disrespect against the religion of Islam, and is deeply concerned about the deliberate attempts to offend members of ethnic or religious groups " .
"Americans of all ethnic and religious reject the offensive initiative by this small group in Florida, many American voices are protesting against statements offensive conducted by this organization," he said in a statement.
Pastor remarks
In comments broadcast on CNN, Terry Jones, pastor of Dove World Outreach Center, said he would be "tragic" if anybody's life has been lost as a result of the fire provided Koran.
But he said: "Yet I must say that we believe that we must, sooner or later stand up to Islam, and if we do not, it will not go away."
site of the church says it aims to "denounce Islam" as an "oppressive and violent religion."
It displays a sign reading "Islam of the Devil".
In Kabul, the demonstrators, mostly students from religious schools who had gathered outside the mosque in Kabul ul-Nabi Milad said they would continue their protests.
"We ask America to stop desecrating our holy Koran," Wahidullah Nori, a student, told the Reuters news agency.
The dispute comes at a time of heated debate already in the U.S. on a proposal to build a cultural center and mosque two blocks from the site of New York from September 11 attacks against the World Trade Center.
Opponents of the building plan say it is insensitive to the families of victims of the attacks of Al Qaeda.
US-backed Afghan forces overthrew the Taliban government in Afghanistan shortly after the attacks after it refused to hand over leaders of al-Qaeda, including Osama bin Laden.
Demonstrations and riots sparked by desecration of the Koran are not uncommon in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries.
The most violent protests came after publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper in 2006.
Last January, Afghan troops killed eight and wounded 13 protesters in the southern province of Helmand in a riot triggered by a report that foreign troops had desecrated the Koran during a raid, but a spokesperson NATO forces denied the report.

Evangelists speak out against the burning of the Koran
They argue that it would be obnoxious and act against God

Christianity and Islam are diametrically opposed on many issues. However - the
National Association of Evangelicals has strongly condemned the plans of a church in Florida to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9 / 11 terrorist attacks.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "The fire has proposed Korans would deeply offensive to Muslims worldwide, as Christians would be insulted by the burning of Bibles, the NAB said in a statement.
"Such an act would be an escalation of tensions between members of both religions in the United States and around the world."
The church in question, the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, announced its plans on a Facebook page "in memory of the fallen victims of 9 / 11 and take a stand against the evil of Islam," reads the announcement. "Islam is the devil!"
The church has erected a sign that says "Islam is the devil." On the Web site of the church, the church justified the sign saying they are trying to "expose Islam for what it is. It is a violent and oppressive religion that tries to masquerade (sic) itself as a religion of peace, trying to deceive our society.
"The message of the truth that there is only one path to God, one way of salvation, and it is through the blood of Jesus. Travers repent of your sins and new birth. It is time for all Christians unite, stop being passive, selfish and stand up and fight for the truth. "
Evangelical leaders suggest that the burning be canceled, and that the act is not a manifestation of the love of Christ.
"The most powerful statement by the organizers of the bonfire on September 11 would be expected to call him .......
