GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The pastor who stoked violence in Afghanistan earlier this month by burning a Koran in March produced a recording on Saturday that he said proved he was deceived last September when he agreed to cancel plans to burn 200 copies of the Koran.

His behavior served one purpose at the very least...it exposes the moral cowards among us.
In the modern digital age there is another way to get the job done
Just download a copy.....
And Delete It!
Umm, you got punked, that video came out at least a year ago and was labled Islamists burnign supporters of America against Al Qaeda in Iraq.
I got punked recently, too, thee is a video of Africans burnign other Africans, and I was told it was Muslims burning Christians in the Ivory Coast, it was in reality Christians burning witches in Kenya, if THAT headline can be trusted!
I really like your hornet analogy. I have a lot of hornet experience and always manage to get an annual update. What do you do when you discover a hornet's nest in your yard?
Do you give the yard to them so you and yours never get stung for being near them or possibly doing something that might make them mad? Do you rationalize that they are, after all, a part of nature and do good along with the bad.
Or, does the bad outweigh the good? Are you so outraged by them stinging you or yours or just their threat that you take out the nest? (The exterminator's phone number is on the refrigerator.)
Those hornets should be scared of you, not the other way around. They should be afraid of making you mad, not the other way around.
You got conned Pastor! The people with whom you were negotiating think “honor” is about killing their daughters if they even smile at a boy.
I once threw a rock at a hornets nest and several hornets instantaneously followed the rock’s precise course and attacked my arm.
I was thinking of several a day. ;)
The hornets are just trying to defend themselves. The guy burned a book thousands of miles away.
Microsoft Windows will automatically detect when you delete the file, and send a message to every mosque in Afghanistan.
LOL!
A picture of mohammad on every flakjacket!
Either way Islam is the only orginization that burns people to death today. I have other stories such as a father getting sanction from the Saudi government to burn his daughter alive which he did.
No, this pastor is NOT responsible for other people's actions half a world away.
Where is it written that Muslims can kill innocent people because they are pissed off? Oh, yeah, the Koran.
The pastor's actions were COMPLETELY covered by the First Amendment.
Do you want to give up your Constitutional rights becasue someone in Afghanistan MIGHT get mad at you and kill his neighbor.
Sorry, but Muslims don't need an excuse to kill, rape, murder, and pillage. Their so-called holy book gives them all the license they need to do just that.
