SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- A New Jersey car dealer plans to keep his word after offering Florida pastor Terry Jones a new car if he promised to not burn a Quran.

Car dealer Brad Benson made the offer in one of his dealership's quirky radio ads, which focus more on current events than cars. But he was surprised when a representative for Jones called to collect the 2011 Hyundai Accent, which retails for $14,200......

If he is self-respecting he’ll donate the car to a charity that is not his own.

He didn’t suggest the offer/deal. Apparently the car dealer did. I can understand it was hard to refuse “such a deal!” He can always burn a Koran another time or was it a lifetime promise not to do so?

Hey Joe...I can’t post this as a thread but somebody needs to get the news out, hope you don’t mind me posting it here.

WILDERS NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS - Update

The public prosecution department on Friday afternoon stated that Geert Wilders is not guilty of discriminating against Muslims. Earlier on Friday it announced he should also be found not guilty of inciting hatred.

Prosecutors Birgit van Roessel and Paul Velleman reached their conclusions after a careful reading of interviews with and articles by the anti-Islam politician and a viewing of his anti-Koran film Fitna.

They said comments about banning the Koran can be discriminatory, but because Wilders wants to pursue a ban on democratic lines, there is no question of incitement to discrimination ‘as laid down in law’.

On the comparison of the Koran with Mein Kampf, the prosecutors said the comparison was ‘crude but that did not make it punishable’.

Dealing earlier on Friday with incitement to hatred, Van Roessel and Velleman said some comments could incite hatred against Muslims if taken out of context, but if the complete text is considered, it can be seen that Wilders is against the growing influence of Islam and not against Muslims per sé.

On Tuesday, the prosecutors said the MP should not be found guilty of group insult.

The public prosecution department was forced to take the case by the high court after anti-racism campaigners protested at its refusal to prosecute Wilders.

Benson’s ads are friggin hilarious. He regularly skewers Pelosi and feminists, as well as a Obama. Interestingly he has skewered the GZ mosque before making this offer.
