German Chancellor Angela Merkel has described as "abhorrent" a US pastor's plan to burn the Koran. Pastor Terry Jones has threatened to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on Saturday by burning up to 200 Korans. Mrs Merkel said she found the idea "simply wrong." She was addressing an event honouring Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard whose caricature of the Prophet Muhammad enraged Muslims.

Terry Jones Accused of 'Spiritual Abuse' at Cologne Church
Former church members are still undergoing therapy as a result of "spiritual abuse," Schäfer said. According to Schäfer, Jones urged church members to beat their children with a rod and also taught "a distinctive demonology" and conducted brainwashing. "Terry Jones appears to have a delusional personality," speculates Schäfer. When he came to Germany in the 1980s, Jones apparently considered Cologne "a city of Hell that was founded by Nero's mother," while he thought Germany was "a key country for the supposed Christian revival of Europe," Schäfer says.
