NEW YORK: Quran burnings that have taken place in several countries are nothing but clear Islamophobic acts intended to incite hatred, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday (Sept 22).

He said inaction in the face of such blatant provocation to a religion is simply irresponsible and sends a dangerous message to humanity.
