REUTERS: FLORIDA CHURCH PASTOR SAYS CALLING OFF KORAN-BURNING ON SATURDAY
REUTERS: FLORIDA PASTOR SAYS DECISION FOLLOWS AGREEMENT TO MOVE SITE OF PLANNED NEW YORK ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTER AND MOSQUE
I hope the site change is untrue. But at least Pastor Lunatic is about finished with pushing his 15 minutes of infamy.
Details as they come in.
UPDATE:
The lunatic is speaking live on MSNBC now. Live blog, some paraphrasing:
"We felt very convinced that we should do this. What would have to happen to call it off? One idea: Pray. If God wants us to call it off, if we accomplished our goal, then our thought was the American people as a whole don't want the mosque at the Ground Zero location. If they cancel that, or move that location, away from that location, we'd consider that a sign from God. He has been in contact with the Imam from NYC. I'll fly up Sat. to meet with Imam at Ground Zero Mosque. He's agreed to move that. That was sign from God.
MOSLims don't want us to burn the Koran. We've agreed to cancel event on Saturday."
We've accomplished our goals? Really? So angering a people all over the world, endangering lives, that's what you've accomplished? Good for you, Pastor Lunatic. Lawrence O'Donnell doesn't believe a word of what he said (just now on MSNBC). A loon convinced them to move the community center? Uh-huh.
UPDATE, he's a big fat liar. Via Keith Olbermann:
Sources in office of Imam Rauf say there is NO deal on moving NYC Islamic center; Orlando Imam only spoke of meeting.
Reuters now also quoting "SOURCES CLOSE TO NY IMAM" saying NO agreement to move Park 51 center
