(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Boca Raton resident Mark Rowley sought to burn the book in a public park. He couldn't get the correct permits though and now plans to shred the book.
According to The Sun-Sentinel, Rowley has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been forced into hospitalization before. In 2006, he was also convicted of spray painting "666" on a mosque, three churches, and a synagogue.
Though, he wanted his Koran burning to be held legally, so he sought permits for the planned burning in Boca's Sanborn Park. The request was denied, even though Rowley promised to burn the book in some sort of device to control the flame.
Now he's applied for new permits to shred the book in the park.
