The leader of a small Florida church that espouses an anti-Islam philosophy says he is canceling plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11. The Rev. Terry Jones said today he had decided to cancel his protest because the leader of a planned Islamic Center near ground zero had agreed to move its controversial location. Any such agreement was unconfirmed. CNN reported that the developers of the mosque complex had denied the location would be moved.

President Obama in warning against the Florida pastor’s plan to burn the Koran stated,

"This is a recruitment bonanza for al Qaeda. You could have serious violence in places like Pakistan or Afghanistan. This could increase the recruitment of individuals who would be willing to blow themselves up in American cities or European cities."

It’s funny how B.O. (or his predecessor) never cited past American government policies as being a recruitment bonanza for al Qaeda.

This is an example of busybodies who feel that they must enforce their moral code on everyone else. But, this is also an example of ostracism, public shaming tactics, and/or "peer" pressure being used to change people's behavior. The church group must realize, though, that turnabout is fair play.

Vandals Defecate on Church's Altar, Burn Cross & Dig Up A Slave Child's Tombstone

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MS (WLBT) - It was to be their big day, but a Jackson couple says the church where they were planning to wed turned them away because of their race. They had set the date and printed and mailed out all the invitations, but the day before wedding bells were to ring for Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson, they say they got some bad news from the pastor. "The church congregation had decided no black could be married at that church, and that if he went on to marry her, then they would vote him out the church," said Charles Wilson.

Home Allowed to burn for not paying fire department subscription fee.

Detroit Fire Department Executive Fire Commissioner Donald Austin said he's proposing the city allow vacant buildings and homes to burn themselves out - but under conditions. “We are in no way looking to 'let the city' burn, this is about saving lives and money,” Austin said. “My department is strapped, the budget is strapped, and it’s time to look at a new way of doing things.” It's one of 3 proposals, the other 2 being to use the Navy for demolition, and creating a demolition unit within the Fire Dept, with the heavy equipment needed.

Just a thought. I have always seen burning the U.S. flag as support for another flag (usually meant supporting the hammer and sickle). It would sure be good to see all the world flags burnt with it if we are going to burn any. I figure anyone who had a problem burning other flags as well probably doesn't truly support a voluntary society.

Obama says the 24/7 information found on the Internet is becoming a distraction, diversion and is putting pressure on our country and our democracy. 'We can't stop these changes but we can channel them, shape them...'

Did I hear him say, the means of "a-pants-ipation?"
