Koran burning cancelled

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."

LOL :lol:

Glad to see this was called off. It would have only caused trouble.awesomejdude

That's some good news, I believe religions shouldn't be immune to criticism but that doesn't mean that we should be disrespectful and spiteful.

What a disgusting person.

Meh..i bet it'll still be used for propaganda..

Great news, but also very strange. He seems under the belief that the mosque is being moved, but they say they have no idea what he's talking about. Ninja-Hippo

I think he's referring to the landowner offering to sell the property for 18 - 20 mil.

For a second I thought the title was Korean burning cancelled. I was like When was Korea being burned???? :shock:

What a disgusting person.

I kinda thought he wouldn't, he was just enjoying his 15 mins of frame that the media gave him.

Do you have signatures on? His sig makes it clear he is one.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"][QUOTE="22Toothpicks"] And what would that prove? That you harbor hate for someone based on a disagreement in beliefs? How very Christian of you.22Toothpicks

i knew he wouldn't do that

[QUOTE="22Toothpicks"][QUOTE="Silenthps"]ugh what a wimp. If I had the money to buy some qurans i'd finish the job. Xx_Hopeless_xX

So why do you think he'd be doing it?

Do why would he be doing then?

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]Nevermind...but i doubt he'd be doing it because of their disagreement in regards to beliefs..

Xx_Hopeless_xX

Do why would he be doing then?

Well, that'd be ridiculous, but I'll concede that one might do it for several reasons. I can't think of any that would be justified though.

That's one step in the right direction

Do why would he be doing then?

1) it would still be unChristian of him (with the turn the other cheek thing), and 2) Someone of that religion would of harmed him/someone he loved, not the religion itself

This, its just a protest. What about all the countries that have burned other countries flags. Please don't tell me it doesn't relate, because it does. Anyways, let em all do what they want, no skin off my back. That and maybe he just needed to stay warm at night, books burn hawt.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"] Because maybe they have harmed someone he loves?..Or a plethora of other reasons..Xx_Hopeless_xX

So if a Christian dude killed my family, you think it wouldn't be ridiculous to starting burning Bibles?

Burning the holy book is basically saying that the religion itself harmed the family member, which is not true.

Even if they did do it because of their beliefs, the religion itself did not harm his family member, the individual did.

This is my scenario, not yours.
