Pastor says Quran-burning suspended, not canceled ("was lied to about the mosque")

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The anti-Muslim leader of a tiny Florida church says he was lied to and is rethinking his decision to cancel burning Qurans to mark 9/11.

Pastor Terry Jones earlier Thursday had backed off his threat to burn the Quran after he said he was promised that a planned Islamic center and mosque would be moved away from New York's ground zero. Muslim leaders denied there was such a deal.

Later outside his church he said that the imam he thought he made the deal with "clearly, clearly lied to us" about moving the mosque.

The article said that "Christian and Jewish" houses of worship were going to have readings from the Koran during their own worship services to counteract the burning party scheduled for 9/11.

My God, there's a mass hysteria going on that is reminiscent of the mindless anxiety, frenzy and panic engendered by Orson Welles' 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast.

Educated religious leaders going completely out of their minds over this media hyped-up flap is evidence of the sorry depths some guilt-ridden, naive Americans of the cloth are plummeting to.

Scary, scary, scary.....

9/11 backyard koran burning parties....IT COULD CATCH ON!

You bomb our buildings and kill our citizens, and WE burn your hate-filled korans. Don't care that the muzzie/sympathizer in the White House has your back. WE THE PEOPLE will settle the score with you. Think you can threaten our soldiers by saying that if korans are burned, the soldiers’ safety will be at risk? The hell you can...WE THE PEOPLE will take off the politically-correct gloves and flatten you.

Muzzies and WE THE PEOPLE agree on one thing...whatever it takes to get the job done.

Perhaps it’s his muslim faith which prohibits this troll from recognizing Christmas?

He just publicly recognized the muslim EID...sending them a Best wishes message. But, did he also recognize the start of Rosh Hashanah with a best wishes message?

If you have porn on your computer, it didn't come from FR. Nor did it come from 160. While 160 is a violation, it didn't put porn on your computer. Your hysteria is irrational.

The latest article on CNN now says the muslim says he “incorrectly announced” the meeting with the minister. How does that work? Is “incorrectly announce” muslim-speak for “misspoke”?

Isn’t it revealing that liberals are determined to stop the burning of Korans, but not Holocaust denial or, in the past, such an insult to Christianity as Andre Serrano’s “Piss Christ”? And of course, when Christians are slaughtered by Muslims (forget about destroying holy books!) in Egypt, Lebanon, Nigeria, and elsewhere, they barely utter a peep. I’d say it shows their priorities.

Why did they get run out of town? Because they were standing around with their hands in their pockets?

No, they were run out of town, and often killed because they were preaching about how this guy that said turn the other cheek.  

I'm not in favor of doing what was done to others simply because others chose to do it. 

I am in favor of doing what He would have done, and He probably wouldn't be burning other people's religious books.

That big old "probably" renders your point moot.

Imam Obama must have over ruled the NYC Imam.

The DC Imam sent the FBI down to Florida. I think they show him pictures of Waco, and the burnt up little kids. Then they said they were coming back and showed him pictures of tanks. Never cross an Imam with tanks... unless you have tanks.

Hey go burn your Korans if that floats your boat. Unfortunately it looks like this kook Jones — the pal of Phelps of the Westburros — is going to steal the show and THAT is the face of “Christianity” that is eagerly going to get plastered all over the news.

The pastor was burning Korans because Islam is violent.

“Musri said Jones told him the burning “would endanger the troops overseas, Americans traveling abroad and others around the world.”

“That was the real motivation for calling it off,” Musri said.”

With the violent response to the threat, the followers of Islam confirmed the truth of the motive behind the burning without one single Koran being harmed.

I looked at the burning of this religious icon the same as the destruction of the Buddhas, and as all Christians should know, Paul did not tear down any idols while on his missionary trips.

The Imam is a representative of our state department , they purchased and helped promote his book promoting the Islam religion on his state sponsored trips. This administration is helping agitate the country.
