It appears that after being "lied to" Terry Jones says that the Koran burning may not be canceled
My first question: How are we letting this knucklehead control the national media narrative?
My second question: When has book burning ever worked out? It's only a tool used by dictators and other imbeciles to censor.
Apparently Terry Jones of the 50 member, and that's questionable, Dove Outreach Number was told that the Park 51 Project would be moved if he stopped Burn a Koran day.
Yeah well you know those holding folks hostage often get lied to at least in the movies.
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."
Jones did not say whether the Quran burning could still be held Saturday, but he said he expected Musri to keep his word and expected "the imam in New York to back up one of his own men."
But Jones never made this about the Park51 Project. Even in his own words, as if they are credible says as much,
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.
"We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans," Jones said. "We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it."
So how the heck did we allow this Terry Jones to get this much attention. Startling. The Media has majorly failed us in their over-coverage and more than 15 minutes of fame for this guy. Might be the most over-extended 15 minutes in the history of media sensationalism.
We have allowed a complete moran to dictate this dialogue. Completely unbelievable. And this guy calls his hate group - the Dove Outreach Group.
That's like calling Water - Fire.
So now we take this situation and turn it into a colossal failure. Jones has now backtracked and made outlandish claims.
Today at Rosh Hashannah service my Rabbi gave an amazing sermon about the Koran burning. The line he kept repeating was "Have we lost our minds?". He talked about how burning books has been used by some of the most evil dictators like Gengis Kahn and Hitler. And then he read passages from the Bible and the Torah that were awful and barbaric. After that he read a most beautiful passage from the Koran about peace.
Seriously - Have we lost our minds?
The media keeps covering this story because the public keeps buying. It never seems to get enough. When does the cycle end. ?
