More... Pastor Terry Jones said Thursday that he decided to cancel his protest because the leader of a planned Islamic Center near ground zero has agreed to move its controversial location. The agreement couldn't be immediately confirmed. Jones' plans to burn Islam's holiest text Saturday sparked an international outcry. 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.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I figured he'd back down when some anonymous donor gave his two-bit church enough money and he signed a non-disclosure agreement under penalty of death. Something similar happened in that effed up Afghan election last fall. He was bought out - the guy who backed down from his challenge against Karzai.
I think poor Sean "you know" Hannity is about to cry... :)

Sounds like Trump has a hand in the deal to move the mosque. Trump Offers To Buy Out Investor In NY Mosque Site NEW YORK (AP) -- Donald Trump is offering to buy out one of the major investors in the real estate partnership that controls the site near ground zero where a Muslim group wants to build a 13-story Islamic center and mosque. In a letter released Thursday by Trump's publicist, the real estate investor told Hisham Elzanaty that he would buy his stake in the lower Manhattan building for 25 percent more than whatever he paid. "I am making this offer as a resident of New York and citizen of the United States, not because I think the location is a spectacular one (because it is not), but because it will end a very serious, inflammatory, and highly divisive situation that is destined, in my opinion, to only get worse," the letter said. Trump also attached a condition to his offer: He said that as part of the deal, the backers of the mosque project would need to promise that any new mosque they constructed would be at least five blocks farther away from the World Trade Center site. The current planned location is just two blocks north of the site. Opponents argue it's insensitive to families and memories of Sept. 11 victims to build a mosque so close to where Islamic extremists flew planes into the World Trade Center and killed nearly 2,800 people, while proponents support the project as a reflection of religious freedom and diversity. It's unclear how much control Elzanaty has over the property, which is owned by an eight-member investment group led by Soho Properties. A spokesman for Soho Properties general manager Sharif El-Gamal and his nonprofit group, Park51, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Earlier in the day, the organization sent a statement to The Associated Press affirming that Soho Properties controlled the real estate and that Elzanaty was one of several investors. El-Gamal and other people associated with the Islamic center have refused to detail the ownership structure of the real estate partnership that holds the site. Elzanaty's lawyer did not immediately return a phone message Thursday. But in a pair of interviews with the AP this week, Elzanaty said he had invested in the site with an intention of making a profit and was willing to sell some of it for private development. He also said he supported building a mosque on at least part of the property. Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
How much do you believe Barry had him paid?
Interesting. It could be construed that the Pastor stale-mated the group that is putting in the Islamic center... NOTHING gets up Muslims wound up quicker, then publicly insulting their religion...

Another manufactured news story with an agenda for the sheeple. I can't believe how blatant this shit is.
Sounds like some hedging going on here. Check the sidebar.

I saw the headline about waffling...and I hate contributing to this contrived news event by bumping this thread.
Take a pill Fred, this story is far from over. Hell, it is only Thursday. At the very least it is still a 72'r in the news cycle.

Yes, let the feeding hate frenzy continue. Carry on.
I feel like I'm watching one of those Twilight Zone episodes.
Speaking of the "Twilight Zone episodes", do you remember the "One Step Beyond" series?

You know I will, Fred. Can't help it. It is what I do. Go figure.

Yes and no...very vague recollection at the moment.
Let's try a real test. How about Science Fiction Theater? Remember it?

Nope, don't remember that one but I'll check and see if netflix has it. I'm on Vol. 6 of OSB and the music still scares the hell out of me. I'm guessing I first watched it as a kid around the age of 4 or 5. Have really been into watching the old stuff lately as much for the setting as for the content. Love Netflix. If you can remember watching it, they most likely have it.

I'd be amazed if they did. It's ancient, one of the earliest shows I remember seeing on tv. I've never even seen it in reruns.

The thread has devolved since post 7 into yet another droning diary session of leftist losers pining for Wizard of Oz reruns.......chuckles.......
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. Below is the latest Dwarf revelation: ...."the shorts and bibs I wear are of a carbon/lycra/nylon composition......and maaaaaannnnnn....just letting everybody know that makes my balls SWELL......I'm just tooooooo sexy for you all!!" ....Dwarf August 2010.............. And one from the bluehair 2-legged GPS "I always get the Carolinas mixed up for some reason." ......Fred Jerx (who will doubtless figure out the intricacy of that tricky "North / South" thing someday. Ahldoafewboners = the kind of person who can say absolutely nothing, and mean it.....aka Regurgitated Clown Floyd
This thread is dated. The burning is back on. Check the top of the sidebar.
This otherwise unknown pastor has a vice grip on these publicity teats and he'll ride this for all it's worth:):) A mountain fabricated from less than a thimble of dust. Anyone stupid enough to believe that this crew burning the koran will make an otherwise decent normal moslem turn into anything approaching a sharia spouting islamonazi would have intellometers that pare pegged well below the average LF obama-drone's intellometer redline of 65.

The Rev. Terry Jones had been under intense pressure to back off, including a statement from President Barack Obama and a personal call from U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Jones made his announcement outside his church alongside Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida.
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."
And the Conservative plan to create jobs is......?????
