WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is exhorting a Florida minister to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan to engage in a Quran-burning protest this weekend.

Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview aired Thursday that he hopes the Rev. Terry Jones of Florida listens to the pleas of people who have asked him to call off the plan. The president called it a "stunt."

Everyone here tells someone to do something their way. You think it’s right to burn the book?

If they tried that stunt in Saudi Arabia, the king would preemptively cut off their heads. And the quran would support that action.

As long as the behavior is not illegal he is free to do what he wishes. Besides, fascist Islam needs to know we will not roll over for their evil.

President Barack Obama zero is exhorting a Florida minister to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan to engage in a Quran-burning protest this weekend.

Hey zero, why don't you exhort that stupid iman to move the *&^%$#@! mosque away from Ground Zero?

But since we have to paint the "gun hugging religious folk" in this country as threats to society it gets inflated into a big BLEEPing deal.

I think it is more sinister than that and we haven't seen the full ramifications of what is going to happen. If and when a Muslim kills a United States soldier because of this, blood will be on the hands of not only the Muslim but of everyone who made this a geo-political event. Basic military psyops would say to cover this event with a blanket of silence, especially in the Muslim region, not trumpet the event weeks before it occurs.

I wouldn’t personally burn a Koran, but for the President to try to argue away a 1st amendment right...maybe he needs to stop reading the Koran and start reading the Constitution.

If you said that to his face nobama would ask, "What Constitution?"

I think he only reads the teleprompter. Look at his empty desk. And there are no more book cases surrounding him than there are gun racks.

I remember when another group of Christians were burning books back in the day, all they did was make them classics.

This reads like leftist b.s. If you are talking about obscenity then the issue was books being banned, not burned.

Are you referring to the Library at Alexandria? Those weren’t Christians.

I am interested in learning more about his ties to the nutters that protest at the military funerals.

Do you have links to news articles on the subject?

It’s revealing that this matter requires Obama’s personal attention.

Call me crazy, but I think Obama's muslim handlers have told him that this is going too far- that he must not allow the Koran to be burned on his watch.

So, he comes out with some smokescreen about a "recruiting bonanza", which will give him justification to send in troops to stop it.

We might just see another moment like the Elian Gonzalez snatching.

Yes. He owns it. He can do what he wants with it.

The proud will be humbled and humble will be exalted.

Both Obama and this self-serving, cultist, glory-hound will be brought low in God's time.

IF this 'pastor' is a Christian, he'd better be listening to God's voice and not the voice of his own inflated ego.

Anyone who supports this irresponsible action, I suggest you go down to Florida and burn a Koran with the cult guy, and get your faces in the paper.

Put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.
