Pastor Jones Cancels Koran Burning, Says Imam Rauf Has Agreed To Move NYC Mosque
Pastor Jones of the the Gainesville Florida church just went on TV and announced that he is canceling the planned Koran burning for Saturday because he says he has struck a deal with Iman Rauf in of Park51 in New York City to move the mosque. Video below.
So far there is zero confirmation that there is any truth to this….developing.
Update: The consensus thus far on Twitter, and on Chris Matthews is that this is a stunt on Jones’ part and that he is trying to tie the Koran burning to the Manhattan mosque and if he is somehow how successful in his bluff (blackmail?) than he can claim success for the mosque removal.
Update #2: Breaking News twitter is reporting that “Imam denies deal to move mosque away from ground zero, contradicting Fla. pastor.”
Update again: NYT reports the Imam Rauf has agreed to meet with Jones but beyond that details remain illusive.
