Pastor Terry Jones has Called Off the Quran Burning Event


Well, look a here. The Loony King has ceased the Quran burning event this weekend.

Word has it that Terry got a call from Secretary Gates and they chatted for a bit. Then, later today, Terry called it off.

The pastor's announcement came after a growing chorus of demands, from President Obama to religious leaders, American generals and others, that he cancel the event planned for Saturday because of the potential impact on Christian-Muslim relations and the effect a Koran burning would have on American troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Earlier in the day, President Obama said that the pastor's plan to burn the Koran on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was a “stunt” that violates American principles of religious tolerance.

“If he’s listening, I just hope he understands that what he’s proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans,” Mr. Obama said in an interview shown Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” referring to to Mr. Jones.

The pastor's announcement that he was canceling the Koran burning was the latest twist in a series of events that had propelled Mr. Jones to worldwide notoriety and raised deeper concerns about festering extremism in the United States.

And more surprising than the announced cancellation of the burning was the pastor's allusions to an agreement with the imam. But details of any agreement remained elusive.

Did The Gays Really set a Church on Fire?


Somebody burned up Palin's church and guess who they're blaming...not Dr. Marlena Evans on the left, but us...the gays.

Wasilla Bible Church was hit with old fashioned arson this Friday and the damages are up to $1 million dollars! That's a lot of tithes.

But how are we to blame? Well, in some reports the reasons vary, however one reason remains consistent. For example, AP says:

Early in Palin’s campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Focus on the Family “Love Won Out Conference” in Anchorage. The conference promised to “help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome.”

So that equals us burning down the church? Child cheese, we didn't do that. It was Friday night, the last place we would be is at a church. But if they want to point fingers, they may want to start with the witches. Yes, I said witches.

Remember, Palin's church had the Witch doctor/hunter, Thomas Muthee, who's been known to hunt a few witches every other week. I guess it was payback time for the Samanthas.

But on a serious note, no one was hurt in the fire.
