2 Local Men Burn Quran Despite Protest Local Religious Leaders Follow Through With Plans POSTED: 5:43 pm CDT September 11, 2010 UPDATED: 8:05 pm CDT September 11, 2010 SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. -- Despite multiple pleas to reconsider, two local religious leaders held a private Quran burning in a Springfield backyard Saturday afternoon. The Rev. Bob Old and the Rev. Danny Allen both had different reasons for burning the Muslim holy book, but they said it had nothing to do with whether or not a mosque was built near ground zero. "It's about faith, it's about love, but you have to have the right book behind you. This is a book of hate, not a book of love," said Old while holding up a Quran. The two men said they burned the books to defend the United States Constitution and the American people. It's a move that has been denounced by Christian groups, politicians and even some of their family members. Three women who have loved ones fighting abroad stood outside of Old's home holding up signs to protest the burnings. "Somebody's got to stand up for the troops," said Ashley Parsons. Parsons' husband is fighting in Afghanistan. This is his fifth tour of duty. She said she thinks it is shameful someone would take the anniversary of a national tragedy and do something that both the president and military leaders have said could endanger troops fighting abroad. "I was livid," Parsons said. " I was very angry. I was very angry, and I'm scared. I'm scared for my husband. I'm scared for my friends and everybody who protects us."
