Fla. minister cancels burning of Qurans on 9/11

By ANTONIO GONZALEZ, Associated Press Writer – 3 mins ago

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The leader of a small Florida church that espouses anti-Islam philosophy says he is canceling plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11.

Pastor Terry Jones said Thursday that he decided to cancel his protest because the leader of a planned Islamic Center near ground zero has agreed to move its controversial location. The agreement couldn't be immediately confirmed.

Jones' plans to burn Islam's holiest text Saturday sparked an international outcry.

President Barack Obama, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan and several Christian leaders had urged Jones to reconsider his plans. They said his actions would endanger U.S. soldiers and provide a strong recruitment tool for Islamic extremists. Jones' protest also drew criticism from religious and political leaders from across the Muslim world.

Both these idiots make a mockery of religion. I love it.

Hey don't look now but this Paster could go from- Zero to Hero- if he works this right.

You guys really need to rethink your "reliable" sources of information.

I concur

From what I have read tonight this Pastor is a joke and would tell anyone this to get in the limelight.

I may not agree with the Imam and he probably has done and said things that would make me thin k different but I would pick this guy over the pastor at this point.

From what you have read tonight the pastor is a joke? He was a joke before this story broke.

No he was an idiot for preaching hate and planning an act of hate.

From what I read tonight he broke even his own idiotic values to claim more spotlight.

He is still an idiot and more of a joke.

Now shoo Mad.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

He was an idiot before people heard about him in the news. I doubt the media made the guy want to burn Korans.

From moral crusader to famewhore in 3 easy steps. Now when he finds out he spoke with a random brown person instead of anyone with authority, he'll have to reinstate the Burnaquranathon and be able to blame the community center for "forcing" him after "they" went back on their "word." It's kind of genius, if you're still learning your ABCs and the greatest thing you've ever cultivated is an admittedly epic mustache of hate and sadness.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Yeah. People like that crave and play up to the coverage that they get from the media.

I could care less if this guy and people like him exist. It's that anyone should feel that they are worthy of any attention whatsoever, let alone national and international news coverage. I'd be ashamed to a journalist writing stories like that.

You sound intolerant and bigoted.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You are intolerant and bigoted. And obsessed with me, it seems. What is this, day 3 of your fixation. Get a grip.

Kettle meet pot.

I think you need to whack yourself in the head with the pot and the kettle to restore you to your senses.
