Fla. minister cancels burning of Qurans on 9/11

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/quran_burning

Quote: GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A Florida minister who had created an international furor with his plan to burn the Quran on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 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. The imam planning the New York mosque said no such deal has been reached. The Rev. Terry Jones announced his decision Thursday afternoon, standing outside his small church alongside Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. However, Musri and the imam planning the New York mosque disputed Jones' contention that a deal had been cut. After the news conference, Musri told The Associated Press there was an agreement for him and Jones to travel to New York and meet Saturday — on the actual anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — with the imam overseeing plans to build a mosque near ground zero. "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." Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said he was surprised by the announcement and that he would not barter. Jones, the pastor of a Florida Pentecostal church of 50 members, has said that he believes the Quran is evil because it espouses something other than biblical truth and incites radical, violent behavior among Muslims. Jones on Thursday said he prayed about the decision and that if the site of 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 during the news conference. We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it." His decision comes after a firestorm of criticism from leaders around the world. President Barack Obama, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan and several Christian leaders had urged Jones to reconsider his plans. They said his actions would endanger U.S. soldiers and provide a strong recruitment tool for Islamic extremists. Jones' protest also drew criticism from religious and political leaders from across the Muslim world. They warned that the plan would put Americans in danger around the world. In Afghanistan, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned Quran burning. Musri thanked Jones and his church members "for making the decision today to defuse the situation and bring to a positive end what has become the world over a spectacle that no one would benefit from except extremists and terrorists" who would use it to recruit future radicals. Russ Blackburn, Gainesville city manager: "It's very good news for Gainesville and good news for everyone involved." Jones' neighbors in Gainesville, a city of 125,000 anchored by the sprawling University of Florida campus, also have said they disapprove. At least two dozen Christian churches, Jewish temples and Muslim organizations in the city have mobilized to plan inclusive events — some will read from the Quran at their own weekend services. Jones' Dove Outreach Center is independent of any denomination. It follows the Pentecostal tradition, which teaches that the Holy Spirit can manifest itself in the modern day. Pentecostals often view themselves as engaged in spiritual warfare against satanic forces.

أعلن القس الأمريكي تيري جونز راعي كنيسة في فلوريدا إلغاء خططه لحرق نسخ من المصحف يوم السبت تزامنا مع ذكرى هجمات سبتمبر/أيلول 2001.

وقال القس الأمريكي في مؤتمر صحفي في جينسفيل إنه سيسافر إلى نيويورك يوم السبت ليلتقي بالامام عبد الرؤوف بعد أن حصل على تعهد منه بأنه سينقل مقر المركز الاسلامي الذي كان من المقرر بناؤه بالقرب من الموقع السابق لمركز التجارة العالمي الذي دمر في هجمات سبتمبر.

وقال "لا يريد الأمريكيون ان يروا مسجدا في هذا المكان ولا يريد المسلمون كذلك لأن نحرق نسخا من المصحف لقد وافق الامام على نقل مكان المسجد ووافقنا على الغاء الحدث الذي كنا نعتزم تنظيمه السبت"

مريم
هذا ما توفعته و كتبته في بوست الاخ النذير حجازي
الرجل له 50 شخص أعضاء فب كنيسته... لو إستمرت علي هذا الحال.. ستغلق أبوابها..
كده ضمن تبرعات من شوية متعصبين من مختلف أرجاء البلاد..

Quote: الاخ النذير إذا حرق المصحف سيخسر أكثر لقضيته.. هذا الرجل يقدم خدمه كبيره للاسلام و المسلمون (شخصيا أتوقع أن لا يفعل ذلك) فسيكسب المسلمون فرص أكبر للتعاطف معهم... و علي هذا دائما ما يغني اليهود حرق الكتب في ذهن و عقلية الامريكي دلاله علي العجز.. و يربطونه بما كان يجري في أوربا في العصور الوسطي و لذا ستتاح فرص أكبر لقراءه القراءن .. الشاعر الالماني هنريش هاين قبل أكثر من مائتين عاما قال عندما تبدأ بحرق الكتب تنتهي بحرق البشر “There, where they burn books, they will in the end burn people.” German poet Heinrich Heine

جماعة أمريكية تعد بشراء مصحف مقابل كل نسخة تُحرق

سلام يا مريم و عيد سعيد

But Rauf said in a statement he was surprised by the announcement. "I am glad that Pastor Jones has decided not to burn any Korans. However,I have not spoken to Pastor Jones or Imam Musri. I am surprised by their announcement," he said.

هذا الرجل pastor يكذب

لم يتفق معه احد على تغيير موقع المسجد في نيويورك ، يرغب فقط بعدم الظهور بصورة المتراجع
