Of Qurans and Circuses
Pastor Jones and an Imam address the media during a a press briefing where Jones announced that he was calling off the Quran burning.
Gainesville, FL - Pastor Jones canceled the Quran burning ceremony. Will wonders never cease? I have to tip a hat to Jones, I would have bet the farm he would never call off his book burning. Jones originally claimed that he arrived at an agreement with the Imam in New York to move the controversial Mosque away from Ground Zero.
However, the Imam in New York claims to know nothing of no agreement. Now Jones is claiming he was lied to. So who knows what is going to happen this Saturday.
The Muslims holding protests around the world are making this idiot famous by threatening to make Jones a martyr. I really don't think they get it.
And the beat goes on…
Pastor Jones address the media circus.
Some of the local residents let their feelings be known on the matter.

That is a fairly impressive collection of hardware. There are times it is hard to tell which came first, the magnitude of the event, or the magnitude of the coverage.
And religion causes most of the problems, war, and economics of course, and study your history or you're going to repeat it; and if you're burning a Harry Potter book you need some serious counseling, you don't get it, you're missing the whole point.
