Pastor says Quran-burning suspended, not canceled ("was lied to about the mosque")

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The anti-Muslim leader of a tiny Florida church says he was lied to and is rethinking his decision to cancel burning Qurans to mark 9/11.

Pastor Terry Jones earlier Thursday had backed off his threat to burn the Quran after he said he was promised that a planned Islamic center and mosque would be moved away from New York's ground zero. Muslim leaders denied there was such a deal.

Later outside his church he said that the imam he thought he made the deal with "clearly, clearly lied to us" about moving the mosque.

The quran is their constitution? Think about the implications of that statement for Muslims who happen to be American citizens. Islam is not just a religion; It's also a political structure. They owe allegiance to Islam and are bound by the law of the Quran.

What are the chances of this getting more play? Most (if not all mosques) preach sedition and treason.

Adherance to Islam promotes the development of certain psychological and cultural characteristics that are incompatible with freedom. Those Muslims who attempt to 'reform' Islam are labeled apostates.

The higher the percentage of Muslims in a population, the more disruptive the push to Sharia.

The article said that "Christian and Jewish" houses of worship were going to have readings from the Koran during their own worship services to counteract the burning party scheduled for 9/11.

I would immediately get up and walk out (and never set foot in such a place ever again). Anyone that continues to attend and support any "house of worship" that would ever do that seriously needs to have their head examined. Sheesh.

I say: get a shredder. Then he doesn’t violate any “open fire” laws. Then put the shredded remains in a charcoal grill. I doubt the town has a law against using a grill.

ROFLMAO! That's BRILLIANT! Critical thinking at it's best. Use the grill to cook PORK spare ribs.

I do listen to Rush! Rush does not support Rev Phelps in any way shape or form. Jones is at a higher place than Phelps,but again he supports Phelps.

I am not going to condemn Jones, but I will condemn Phelps.

Islam/Muslim lie to trick and decieve the infidels (any non-muslims). I am hoping the pastor keeps them guessing.

Odd how the FBI is all over a pastor doing something protected by The First Amendment while they are slow to do anything about Islamic terorists like Mousousi (sp?) and other Islamic terrorists.

September 11th should from this day forward be known as “Burn a Koran Day.”

LOL. Thanks. Could move it a bit more quickly than a shredder by using a wood chipper. Mine cuts through 3 inch branches pretty quickly. And it would still fit in the grill.

“Koran-Smoked Ribs: America’s 9/11 BBQ of Choice!”

Definitely use Spicey Sauce on those ribs.

Remember the phone call one of the passengers on Flight 93 made to his mother? She said she told him to stay seated and maybe they won’t notice you. That’s what the people who are criticizing the pastor are doing.

Me too.

If Christians must see a Crucifix in urine, then why are muslims exempt from feeling offended (answer: they are not).

The more I see people against this, the more I want to see korans burned, just to see if muslims have any restraint. If everyone wasn;t so outraged about it, my feelings would probably be different, but I am sick of the PC Police.

Screw em all.

Seriously, what grown-azz man wears a helmet on a low speed bike ride? I could understand if he was doing tour style biking on the road. But that photo is on a sidewalk, with a tandem behind him. Most non-wimpy kids refuse to wear helmets.

Sadly, it's the law in my town. For skateboarding, too. Cops have stopped in front of my house as my son and his friends skate in my driveway and "advised' me to have them wear helmets. I tell them very nicely that private property rights still exist in some cases, and this is one of them. Then they drive slowly away, off to slay another dragon.

LOL! That's what I was thinking last night as I watched him.

I admit it. I’m crazy about M. ZUHDI JASSER!

Questions for Imam Rauf From an American Muslim

He may not appear to the untrained eye to be an Islamist, but by making Ground Zero an Islamic rather than an American issue he shows his true allegiance.

Was it Lenin or Stalin who said

“Probe, always probe...if you encounter steel, withdraw. If you encounter mush, proceed.”

That’s what these savages are doing to us—and pretty much, nothing but mush—in a way I can’t blame them for going for it like this-we’re standing with our thumbs up our behinds smiling and hoping they won’t hate us too bad.....

“A Republic, madam—if you can keep it” That’s what old Ben said in 1776. We did a good job for a couple hundred years.
