US pastor Terry Jones cancels Koran-burning, claiming "Ground Zero mosque" is being moved in deal with imam

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11255366

The pastor of a small US church who planned to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 has cancelled his protest.

Terry Jones said he was calling off the event after the group behind a planned Islamic centre near Ground Zero in New York agreed to relocate it.

But the cultural centre's organisers said they had no plans to move it.

Mr Jones' plan had been internationally condemned and had already sparked many protests around the world.

Mr Jones, pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, which has fewer than 50 members, had named Saturday International Burn a Koran Day.

But at a news conference, he said he would now travel to New York on Saturday to meet those behind the Islamic centre and discuss its relocation.

President Barack Obama had earlier warned Mr Jones the burning would be "a recruitment bonanza" for al-Qaeda.

The US State Department had warned US citizens of an increased risk of attack, while international police organisation Interpol also issued a warning of the risk of violent response.

He canceled it because he's scared shitless.

As he should be.

God damn it. There goes my Armageddon Party.

interpol said there could be attcts.

if he did it i could see all sorts of riots.

i bet in the uk there would be riots in certain places.

I'm calling bullshit.

The guy in charge of the center was just on cnn 10 minutes ago claiming that moving the center would cause more harm...

Good. More toiletpapers.

Yay .... we get to live another day !

Burning a book or destroying a book could have consequences.
However, more copies of the book are available.

:1orglaugh

It's right to appease the 'religion of peace'.

Otherwise they might kill us.

He changed his mind after Sarah Palin told him to knock it off.

Its amazing how a delusional, idiot "Christian" with about eight devout followers can garner so much attention.

This piece of human garbage has endangered the lives of every soldier we have left in the middle east.

Muslims aren't going to read about the entire world denouncing his plans and actions. They're going to be led to believe that an American Christian "leader" has mobilized an entire country in hatred against them. This is already happening. His new found cowardice is not going to heal any wounds.

The spineless piece of shit has chickened out. I hope he pays the price - even if someone has to hunt him down and drag the spineless fuck out of the corner he is hiding in.

The useless fuck should be put on a plane to Afghanistan immediately. Air drop him on the Pakistan border. Let them deal with him, and post the resulting video on Al Jazeera. If this cocksucking coward's vitriol leads to the death of one single soldier, he should be held responsible.

Thank God for religion!

Too late.

if he wants to piss off rag-heads all he has to do is draw a picture of Mohammed.

The book burning is overkill.

Muslims are constantly being fed news that an American "Christian" leader is organizing a burning of th Qu'Ran. They don't know that this fuck wad has maybe a half-dozen followers.

They will not receive news that he is a chicken shit coward and has called it off. There is not one Muslim on the face of the earth saying, "Oh! He was just kidding. ROFL!"

A useless, borderline retard has - more than likely - just motivated what might be the most dangerous religious group on the face of the earth against America.

Everyone should go out and burn a Koran. Put it on youtube.

If those cock sucking Arabs can burn flags, then people can burn their book. Then again, they burn US flags because the US bombs the shit out of them and has killed 100s of 1000s of innocent civilians. Hmmmmmmm.... OK, maybe someone should just shit on the Koran.

muslims do not wear turbins.

wrong religion.

Ahhhhhhh shit!

Pastor Jones bout' to get served!

A turban is not a rag. A rag is a disparaging term for a garment. Religion is a a set of rules used by idiots who cannot process logic.

</fatfoo bot>

Its not cancelled - http://www.ocala.com/article/2010090...f-Dove-doesn-t

fuck that... why should anyone bow down to any religion...

i say let him burn those books and if was president i would send out a message to the international community that any terrorist activities would be might with a swift and mighty response..

i love how the US will go invade country after country in the name of whatever, but wont stand up and act like the superpower that it is...

the US is like a bully who only picks on girls because they know they can win...

people are so afraid of muslims it's getting ridiculous... i would send a message to muslims that if you can't keep your own house in order then you will not be welcome here...

i cant believe we let a small faction like extreme muslims scare us to death...




.

that sucks.

OMG that made me almost loose my drink! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You suck... muslim donkey shit stained dick... you realize they fuck donkeys in the ass dont you? What is your true muslim name?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:helpme

I got confused and burnt Robert Koren. Sorry Robert. :(

I saw report the news this morning and he mentioned that making them move will bring out the extremist and we could possibly expect violence and other forms of retaliation......Sounds like a veiled threat to me!

Personally, I feel if they don't like it here then they can leave the country.... no big loss :winkwink:
And it's time for this country to stop kissing their asses and bowing to every whim they find offensive :2 cents:

............

The only people gaining out of this is Amazon!! Add a fucking Koran to your cart and you get "Frequently bought with: Zippo Street Chrome Pocket Lighter"

They're making a killing!!

Not quite True.

Fuckhead Terry Jones said the cancelation is CONDITIONAL. I heard on CNN only an hour ago that the person he made this "Deal" with is in no position to make this deal, and, that even if he was, that there is no time frame.

Either Jones was bullshited, or Jones is bullshitting. I bet the idiot tries to burn Korans anyway.

The dude teaches Christianity, but has it all wrong himself. I guess it's time for him to ctrl-k irl.

Fatfoo is a funny man.
Or maybe he is just smart and not trying to be funny.

Oh thank heavens...someone is not burning a book. All that is going on in the world, it's wonderful that a person who has 50 followers will burn a book and get global attention. Please tell me what other stunt we could pull with books and get this much attention? This sums up the media nicely...always looking to keep the sheep divided.

Is there any other book in the last 5,000 years that you announce you will burn and get this much media attention?

Why is that....its because it is all manufactured by the people who want you on one side or the other.....please think about sheeple

Go back to Saudi Arabia you fucking towelhead sand negro :321GFY

I hate that they gave this fucker so much press and airtime.

He's a backwards preacher of a backwoods church less than 50 members strong. They should have ignored them and let them throw their BBQ. No one wouldn have known the wiser. I think it's wrong, I think it's disgusting, but I find all the media coverage more disgusting and also loathe that so many powerful people acknowleged this nutjob and his congregation- even if it was to speak out against him, now this crazy thinks he's a catalyst for change. :(

Giving someone like this media attention, providing him with a platform to spread his hate, it's like rewardng a bad kid who's acting out. I can't abide.

Centeral florida is a wasteland. Take the 110 through Gainesville to Jax and it's like going back in time. You don't want to stop the car for fear some kid is going to walk up and start screaming "Outlander!"

DWB is a fucked up human being but also a very funny motherfucker. And his avatar smokes all you clowns
