Hats off to the preacher in FL....

[Vedubin01]

he has stepped down and refrained from burning the Qurans on 9/11 because the ground zero Islamic center leader has agreed to move away from ground zero.

Good news all around. Building a Islamic so close to ground zero is very disrespectful but legal. If one help influence the other then so be it.

Fla. minister cancels burning of Qurans on 9/11

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A Florida minister who had created an international furor with his plan to burn the Quran on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks canceled the event under intense pressure Thursday, saying he agreed to back off after reaching a deal to move the location of a controversial mosque near New York's ground zero.

They won't move the mosque.. I'd put money on it. Just an out for this batshit crazy fucker who's gotten in too deep.

[Garageaholic]

I didn't check on this update, but that's certainly good news.

[joshh]

I haven't seen anything saying the Imam has agreed to move the Mosque.

[Aptyp]

WTF am I supposed to do with all my Quran copies now? Bull shit.


JK. I am very much opposed to burning any book for a lot of reasons, just as I'm opposed to foreigners burning American flags. In the end it's all legal and all fair. Let crazies be crazy.

Sadly, knowing that Quran is mostly Bible in a different language, I find it disturbing that "Christians" were up for flames.

Same here... But this looks interesting.

Exactly. Acting like he's some hero who strong-armed them to move it. That dude's just as nutty as the guy who wants to build the Islam center.

I think that one of the investors selling off his portions will ultimately bring the demise of Cordoba House/Park51.

I don't think a lot of people get this.

[Turf1600]

Let them build it where they want. Get over it.

[z31maniac]

No where in the story does the IMAM say he isn't building it there, only that the preacher is CLAIMING a deal was struck.

He just pussied out after all his big talk.

[Vedubin01]

I don't think a lot of people get this.

Because Christians work from the New Testament not the Old.


The FBI and the White House contact this guy..... Im sure they could have led into the information that the building site was to be moved.

Who knows what was said in those meeting, neither side is saying.

Turns out this was all news to the Imams who still plan on building their "community center"

[TheEtaUnderdog]

lol this mosque talk makes me laugh. Have you seen the shit that is right near ground zero? They fly a plane into our building because of our freedoms and we want to honor the dead by taking away freedom LOOOOOOOOOOOL the hypocrisy is a joke. If you wanna burn shit, burn it. if you wanna build shit, build it.
