Gainesville pastor cancels Quran burning

[Bay_Kat (Premo)]

GAINESVILLE --
Gainesville Pastor Terry Jones says he will not host a Quran burning on Sept. 11.

At a news conference Thursday, Jones said he cancelled the event because the leader of a planned Islamic Center near ground zero has agreed to move.

He said he and Imam Muhammad Musri will be flying to New York City Saturday.

Musri, of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, was the bridge that brought about peaceful solutions in both events. For the second day in a row, he drove from Orlando to speak with Jones.

"Pastor" Terry Jones is a nutjob, don't believe anything he says.

I like SamSpade's point that Jones has already won. He need only point to the Muslims and say, "Are they not guilty of their own intolerance?"

Pretty amazing that the first person to know about the Islamic center being moved is this nutjob. I'll have to withhold judgment until all the facts come out.

Exactly. Threaten to burn a few korans and the animals show their true colors. And people think we should be tolerant of these animals??

The Imam in New York said he has talked to either the pastor or the Imam in Florida and there is no plan to move the Islamic center.

I wonder where he got his information.

The contrast in the government's responses between the proposal of the mosque/community center/prayer room and the Quran burning is especially stunning.

Oblahma and the WH came out in full support of the mosque, in spite of the controversy surrounding it. And when it came to this guy, they wasted no time in telling him to stop. Jones was clearly being provocational, but his right to burn a religious book (whichever one he chose) should have been protected... the same way Oblahma was saying the Muslims have a right to construct their building.

Perhaps Muslims have learned that, at least for the immediate future, they need not attack us with guns because they can use our own laws and government against us. And the effects are much farther reaching.

They weren't forced to stop. Just as the Mosque builders won't be forced to stop.
