“A prayer for a time of book-burning”: only Anglicans could come up with a phrase like that. The book in question is the Koran – surprise, surprise – a copy of which was burnt on March 20th in Florida. Anglican leaders have denounced the conflagration as the “act of a sick mind”.

Meanwhile, rampaging Muslims are burning Christian churches all over the place with nary a peep of protest from the same Anglican leaders: they appear to have squandered their monthly quota of indignation on the witless twerp who burnt the Koran.

From here:

Anglican leaders have condemned the act of burning of the Qur’an on March 20 in Florida, United States. Bishop Alexander Malik of the Diocese of Lahore, Pakistan, said that “Such acts were in flagrant contradiction to the teaching of Christianity… They were the manifestations of sick minds busy in spreading hatred, bigotry and unease in society.”

In Peshawar, Pakistan, Bishop Humphrey Peters noted that this was a “shameful act” performed “only to gain cheap popularity”.  Bishop Peters was speaking at a press conference alongside members of a Peshawar based inter faith group ‘Faith Friends’ at which colleagues from the Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities also expressed their anger at the action.
