GAINESVILLE - FBI agents visited today with a minister of a small Florida church that plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, as public safety became a paramount concern and President Barack Obama added his voice to the chorus of opposition. Elsewhere, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned burning of Islam's holiest text. Obama urged the Rev. Terry Jones to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan.(continued)

I don’t believe it. Where did you hear this?

MSNBC has it and I believe Yahoo news also.
We’re all Europeans now.
Terry Jones had received death threats. If any of those were interstate calls, the FBI should have been coming to his defense, rather than demanding he back down. Are the IRS paying a visit to him next?
No it doesn't but it helps to attract new members to a personal Baptist church run by an obiously narcissistic pastor desperate for new membership...........
It probably will lead to burning mosques, with Mohammedans smelling of gasoline walking away from the fire.
Breaking on Fox OTA, not confirmed, Pastor Jones says the Iman has agreed to move the WTC victory mosque 5:23 p.m.
"American Muslim leaders, for their part, urged Muslims not to retaliate for the burning..."
THIS IS A LIE!
He is a broken record and I can't take him for more than a few minutes any longer. Once he starts repeating something I CLICK!
It takes a European sense of humor to really appreciate them...
Merkel to honor Mohammed cartoonist at press award (reuters.com ^ | Sep 8, 2010 | Stephen Brown and Knut Engelmann )
German Chancellor Angela Merkel risked angering Muslims by speaking at an awards ceremony on Wednesday for a Dane whose cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed provoked sometimes violent protests by Muslims five years ago. The 75-year-old cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, whose drawings of Mohammed that offended Muslims worldwide first appeared in Danish paper Jyllands-Posten in 2005, was due to receive a prize on Wednesday evening at a conference on freedom of the press.
You failed to mention raping and killing of nuns with impunity whilst the Catholic Church turns the Other cheek so to speak.
It’s the main story on MSNBC website. Not burning is linked to moving the 9/11 mosque
Don’t forget that the imam promised yesterday that if the mosque cannot be built at Ground Zero, there will be rioting and bloodshed on Saturday 9/11. So I’d say he’s trying to bring that about.
In this version, Oz surrenders “Dorothy”
We are JFK’s Berliners today, which actually meant ‘doughnut’: squishy, covered in sugar and having our center cut out.
Next up comes the hot oil and eating, I suppose.
Buring Korans leads to killing our guys and Christians now. That’s gonna draw converts. /ridicule
Not over.... Iman just said no deal...he will not meet with the Pastor...so on it goes...this likely isn’t over.
I am afraid this is being set up as a scapegoat reason for a long planned 911 style attack on America’s shores that the officials might have gotten wind of months ago. This way,if it happens and is not stopped..Obama can blame someone else and his own incompetence and appeasement will not be implicated.
??? I would still like to know which media group brought this up first and why? The story had already broken before Petraeus made his statement. The nobody preacher’s book burning was announced way back in July. Something doesn’t add up.
Beck lost me when he supported McShame. I’m taking Hannity off my DVR timer record list right now. I quit BOR quite a while ago and Greta’s ass-kissing became boring long ago. I’ve been watching FBN a lot more lately anyway because those folks over there have a lot more guts and chutzpah than the FNC people. They’re a lot more direct, blunt and to the point. They aren’t afraid to say anything there.
The news media fueled the whole damn story.
I’m was sick of it the first time I heard about it.

They won’t show up and we know it. Why burn bibles? Just burn the damn korans already, screw the FBI. Make a show of smearing bacon strips all over the korans before setting the match to them.
