According to the latest news, to which I responded with a heavy sigh of relief, the pastor has called off the Quran burnings. He made the amazing announcement that he had done so in return for assurances that the planned mosque at Ground Zero was going to be located elsewhere! He claimed that he had asked three times for this promise to be articulated clearly, and that he had witnesses.
Mere minutes after this news, Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam in charge of the Ground Zero project, denied that any agreement had been reached. Pastor Jones is insistent that that's what he was promised, while Muhammad Musri, a Florida imam, says the agreement was simply that there would be a meeting between him, Jones, and Rauf.
