A militant self-styled minister yesterday declared his planned “Burn a Koran Day” event will go on as planned in Gainesville, Florida despite an outpouring of pressure from the everyone from the Obama administration to General David Petreaus to New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg to call off the event.
Terry Jones, the so-called “pastor” of the Dove Outreach Center, a non-denominational church that boasts a whopping congregation of fifty people, said he has “no intention” of canceling the book burning. Jones, who believes “Islam is of the Devil,” planned the event to commemorate the nine year anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks.
Most sane people realize that the very image of Americans burning the Islamic Holy book will do nothing except incite rage among Muslims across the world – and very possibly bring harm to our troops overseas. Still, Jones and his followers refuse to cancel their hate-inspired event.
God help us.

Check on this to confirm, but my Webmail news feed has a breaking story that the Koran burning has been called off because the Moslems who were planning to place a community center near the site of the former World Trade Center have decided to go elsewhere.
ReplyDeletethe imam said he's not sure where the pastor got that from, but he is not budging on the plans to move the mosque elsewhere. So now the pastor is saying that he'll continue with the burning
