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)

The Iman is getting his orders from Mulas oversees....this is no longer between the Iman and the Pastor...the powers that be are sparing in this ......which is why Interpol has been put on alert.
That's right but it was low key and the media wasn't making much of it. Someone as high up as Petraeus mentioning it in the manner that he did pretty much demanded that the media cover it at that point.
Yep...and Petraeus gets his orders from Obama.....which is who is moving this whole affair....such a slime!
May get that chance . . . now the Muzzies are gonna want to build a victory mosque on the church property because they backed down.
I was always afraid that would happen.
Exactly.
The buck stops with the Commander in Chief...Obama....but I agree that Petraeus should have never elevated the whole thing. My guess was that the media asked him to comment on the whole thing or else Obama did. This doesn’t sound like something Petraeus would have done on his own.
It was probably the call from the IRS that did the trick.
I keep Fox on for breaking news (ie, if all hell breaks loose I want to know, and I assume they will come on and say something, but I could be wrong) but I keep FR on as well because there I generally find the truth. Without the internet I fear I would be a blathering idiot like everyone else.
I knew the day Obozo picked Petraeus, he was on a collsion course with total ruination.
Good he has a retirement. At least he still does at this moment. Nothing can erase his shame.
Well, if the Iman will no longer meet with the pastor this Saturday as was planned?, that will leave the pastor with Saturday free again (to go back to burning books?) ...
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is sending best wishes to Muslims worldwide as they celebrate Eid-al-Fitr (ayd ahl-FIH’-tur), which marks the end of the holy month of fasting and prayer known as Ramadan (RAH’-mah-dahn).
Obama also appealed for donations for victims of devastating floods in Pakistan.
This year’s holiday falls on Saturday’s 9/11 anniversary during a time of rising anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S. over plans for a mosque and Islamic cultural center near ground zero. A Florida pastor also is threatening to burn copies of the Muslim holy book on Saturday.
Obama said the Muslim holiday is a time to reflect on the importance of religious tolerance and to honor the positive role all religions have played in American life.

Exactly. Doesn't matter what we do, their just ass backwards and pissed off at everything.
Here's a little conundrum for the muzzies...Since the koran is only a koran because of the words it contains; what's next? We can NEVER delete a digital copy of the koran ever again??..
while true;
do cp POS_koran.pdf koran.pdf;
rm -f koran.pdf;
cp POS_koran.pdf koran.pdf;
echo "mwahaha...an infidel mass deleting digital toilet paper";
done
Pentagon weighs call to try to dissuade pastor from burning Korans
The Pentagon’s top spokesman suggested Thursday that a senior official from the Defense Department might call the Florida pastor who has threatened to burn Korans this Saturday and strongly urge him to abandon his plans.
In recent days, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Gen. David H. Petraeus have spoken out forcefully to say that the Koran burning would put the lives of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan at risk. A personal call from the Obama administration to the obscure pastor demonstrates how quickly a marginal figure can vault himself to international promience.
Terry Jones, the pastor, told reporters that he might drop plans to burn the Korans if someone from the Pentagon, State Department or Obama administration called him personally to urge him to change course. The fact that senior administration officials are even considering a personal call to Jones shows how deeply concerned they are by the actions of the pastor, who oversees a church of only 50 people.

I’m wondering if the mosque will be built elsewhere now. What do you think?
More pressure than he was used to, I guess. And maybe death threats.
They’ll force Microsoft to make it so you can’t drag a file of the Koran to the Recycle Bin.
Vengeance is the Lord’s. There will be a time when everything Muslim is burned up and later cast into a place where the flame is never quenched.
“This years holiday falls on Saturdays 9/11 anniversary during a time of rising anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S. over plans for a mosque and Islamic cultural center near ground zero. A Florida pastor also is threatening to burn copies of the Muslim holy book on Saturday.”
More BS incitement from the lamestream Obama media..(eye roll)! This kind of crap makes me sick. If we get attacked on saturday(911), the fault can be laid squarely on the shoulders of the media, Obama and of course the barbarian Islamists.
I don’t mind them making the money as long as they’re not cowards. I think Hannity is more assertive on his radio show than he is his FNC show.
I, too, have had it with some of the guest panelists Hannity hosts, including Beckel and that lying whore, Powers.
