Quran burning - So what it comes down to is a threat.

"Jones had never invoked the mosque controversy as a reason for his planned protest. He cited his belief that the Quran is evil because it espouses something other than biblical truth and incites radical, violent behavior among Muslims.

But he said Thursday afternoon that he prayed about the decision and concluded that if the mosque was moved, it would be a sign from God to call off the Quran burning."

"I told the pastor that I personally believe the mosque should not be there, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is moved," Musri said. "But there is not any offer from there (New York) that it will be moved. All we have agreed to is a meeting, and I think we would all like to see a peaceful resolution."

"Standing outside his 50-member Pentecostal church, the Dove Outreach Center, alongside Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, Jones said he relented when Musri assured him that the New York mosque will be moved.

Hours later, after Musri and the leader of the New York mosque denied such an agreement, Jones said Musri "clearly, clearly lied to us."

"Given what we are now hearing, we are forced to rethink our decision," Jones said. "So as of right now, we are not canceling the event, but we are suspending it."



So basically, he's threatening to burn Qurans unless the center is moved. And he just assumes all the Muslims are represented by this one guy that told him he'd try to get it moved.

1. Well, Pastor Jones, I'd hate to see something bad happen to Bibles. An accident. With fire.

Of course, accidents sometimes don't happen. Maybe if you were to call of your Quran burning, coincidentally, nothing bad would happen to the Bibles.

But you never can tell.

2. The good Pastor's response:

"Go for it, son, just make sure the press knows you're doing it for me and spell my name right. Here, let me send you a photo of mine you can put next to the fire for the TV cameras..."

3. Perhaps they should change the event and make it.

"Burn a Moran Night."
We really have to get rid of some of these mindless idiots!
