I wonder if Pastor Jones got a serious threat against his life or his family and I wonder who that threat might have come from, the imam or the government or the government imam.

And backing down will insure a lot more deaths than following through would have. A lot more.

Probably. But hey -- to have burned Korans would have been uncivil. And we can't have that, can we?

I wonder what the FBI threatened him with.

More than likely they convinced him that American soldiers' lives would DEFINITELY be lost as a direct result of his actions.

Very good that he backed down.

Sad to see he backed down. I gtuess the pressure of muslimes, liberals and pseudo conservative pundits all taking the muslims’s side against his constitutional rights and siding with the muslims and their threats of violence must have been too much for him.

We should probably get used to it, cause that’s how it is in shariamerica today.

I’m betting the CIA put the thumb screws on him. And convinced him that his family would be at risk if he ever reneged.

He probably has family. Or, his parishoners do.

A lot of folks are guessing it was either a threat from the Jihadis or the FBI...

You say that like there is a great deal of difference between the two. 

I don't see it.

Consider the possibility that he was persuaded by Sarah Palin's suggestion that he stand down.
