The Bigger Story

Just my two cents' worth about the on-again, off-again, maybe-on-again burning of the Koran at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida...

As I see it, bigger story here is not whether or not Dove Church is going to burn the Koran on September 11; rather, the bigger story is the linking of the Florida Koran-burning with the location of the Ground Zero Mosque.

Haven't Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller repeatedly said that the two protests are not linked? But the media have been trying to link the two stories ever since they started covering the possibility of that Koran-burning.

And now Terry Jones, the pastor of that church in Florida, has linked the two protests forever.

From this source:
Jones announced this afternoon he had decided to call off the Quran burning and would instead fly to New York on Saturday to meet with the Muslim cleric who wants to build an Islamic center a few blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center.

"Our thought was the American people do not as a whole want the mosque at ground zero. If they were willing to cancel the mosque at the ground zero location or if they were willing to move that location, we would consider that a sign from God," Jones told reporters today.
How much will the following be covered so that the average American knows?
Jones, the author of a book called "Islam Is of the Devil," had never previously cited the New York Islamic center as a reason for Quran burning.
And what damage will be done to the September 11 protest organized by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller?

A commenter at Jihad Watch made the following observation:

To my ear at least, it sounds as if FOX is saying, in effect, that Jones is totally nuts (won't even show his image), Rauf is sane and CREDIBLE...

It's even more tenacious a goal that just opposition to the mosque . . .they're tying in everything - soon to toss in the kitchen sink . . .

from here:
"E depois dos apelos do presidente dos Estados Unidos e de vários líderes religiosos, segundo a CNN decidiu cancelar o seu protesto porque o líder do planeado centro cultural islâmico a construir perto do local onde estavam as Torres Gémeas lhe comunicou que irá mudar a localização do complexo."
