The US pastor, whose sacrilegious act burning of Holy Quran sparked deadly violence in Afghanistan, has called for "immediate" US and UN action against its perpetrators, saying the whole religion of Islam must be held accountable.
Jones presided over the burning of the Islamic holy book March 20 at his Florida church, an act he had long threatened despite warnings it would put American troops and others in Afghanistan in danger. In a separate interview with AFP, he said he was "devastated" by the killings in Afghanistan but did not feel responsible for them. "We don't feel responsible for that," he said.
