The Tampa Tribune / The Associated Press ^ | September 9, 2010 | Ray Reyes and The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE - FBI agents visited today with a minister of a small Florida church that plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, as public safety became a paramount concern and President Barack Obama added his voice to the chorus of opposition. Elsewhere, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned burning of Islam's holiest text. Obama urged the Rev. Terry Jones to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan.(continued)

it helps to attract new members to a personal Baptist church run by an obiously narcissistic pastor desperate for new membership

Which would help keep such new members out of gambling halls and abortion clinics.

Wow...just WOW.

So the kook minister states he will burn qurans on 9/11 because islam is evil.

The media gets ahold of story and goes nuts- though they have difficulty with the whole concept of free speech...nevertheless they have a blast cause now no one is discussing the economy.

Somehow the kook minister gets it in his head- if they decide not to build mosque at Ground Zero, I will consider that God’s will and will not burn qurans.

Meanwhile- other nutcases across the country decide to get in on the act and also burn qurans on Saturday...Hillary, Petraeus, Interpol, the FBI, Sarah Palin and Obama all add their two cents.

Fox states they will not cover the “event” on Saturday.

Central Florida imam goes to Gainesville to chat with kook minister.

Apparently calls are made behind the scenes. Radical nutjobs on both sides come to agreement. No Ground Zero mosque. No burning qurans.

Only in America.

I wouldn’t trust him even if he did “agree” to move it.

Very interesting. I know who he is. Could the O administration and dems be hoping to get support for a Canadian style ‘hate speech’ law coming down the pike?

How will that prevent the millions of korans that other Americans plan to burn Saturday?

I plan to burn five :

One each in homage to the victims of the four 911 airliners, at the precise time of each mass murder.

The fifth to celebrate and honor King John Pasieki, who routed a much larger muslim army at the gates of Vienna, the eastern gate to Europe; also on Sept 11-12.
I better get a new supply of free korans. Just google "free quran" to get yours.
The Battle of Lepanto, the last naval rout of islam at sea, gets celebrated on October 7 (1571).

My prediction - - Sunday morning, or shortly afterwards, the muzzies will announce they’ve decided to keep the Ground Zero mosque at it’s present location.

No it doesn't but it helps to attract new members to a personal Baptist church run by an obiously narcissistic pastor desperate for new membership...........

This is the truth, but how many Baptist churches are NOT pastored by a similar douche(and I need not even apply that question to the Mooooslems)?

Geez.

How many times will TBO use the same link for different stories?

When this thread was first posted - the TBO headline was about the FBI paying a visit to Pastor Jones.

And before that it was about Gainesville officials blling the church for security. (see link)

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/sep/09/091457/gainesville-officials-to-bill-minister-for-securit/

Now the headline has changed for a 3rd time??

Gainesville minister: Quran burning canceled; ground zero mosque will move

Geez!

As for Hannity I’ve had it with him, the man is a coward who cannot talk about social issues like the homosexual agenda,

Yep, I called him a couple of years back about some homo thing and kids. Since we have kids the same age I thought he would be receptive. Instead I was insulted by the call screener and hung up on.

There is no deal to move the Ground Zero Mosque.

Update: Imam denies deal to move mosque away from ground zero, contradicting Fla. pastor - Reuters
