Radical Florida pastor Terry Jones has called off his planned ‘International Burn a Koran Day’ that was scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 11th.

Jones, the pastor of the tiny 50-member Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, had caused an international uproar with his plans to set ablaze the holy book, Quran, of the Muslims.

Politicians from every side of the political aisle from Bill Clinton all the way to Sarah Palin had called the act outrageous and begged for him to not follow through.

I tweeted yesterday, “The worst advertisement you can do for your religion is to burn another religion’s sacred book.Reeks of insecurity, bad flashbacks to Hitler.” It was just a horrible idea from the get-go.

Thankfully, Jones has changed his mind, but there was likely damage to the reputation to the United States from all the publicity his planned act attracted.  I wouldn’t be surprised if there is not retaliation still, in some form, for the unnecessary hatred he aimed at the Koran.

The media blew this story up and gave Jones the attention he was so desperately whoring for.  I mean come on, his wacky rantings have only drawn 50 members to his church planted in the sand.
