Still determined -U.S. pastor vows to carry out Burn-a-Koran day on Sept 11 despite death threats

The leader of a tiny U.S. church said yesterday that he will defy international condemnation and go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of September 11. The Rev Terry Jones has been advised by the senior U.S. leader in Afghanistan, General David Petaeus, that the stunt would put American soldiers lives at greater risk and provide propaganda for the Taliban. But Rev Jones, who claims to have received more than 100 death threats and has begun carrying a pistol for his own protection, today held a press conference to announce that he will not back down in the face of military, political or moral pressure. 'As you can imagine we have come under very much pressure in the direction of cancelling the event,' said the minister, whose church has fewer than 100. 'But as of this time we have no intention of cancelling.

The Truth Seeker: Koran Burning To Mark Another 9/11. Pastor Terry Jones defiance is a measure of how far America has fallen into ignorance and decline. He is an example of what Americans are fast becoming: backward, profoundly ignorant and easily manipulated by their Zionist owned media. As anyone who bothers to research the facts for themselves knows, Muslims were NOT behind 9/11. However, Pastor Terry Jones gets his information from the corporate media – the very people who repeated unfounded claims about Saddam’s Weapons of Mass Destruction. And even though his actions will put the lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan at risk, Pastor Terry Jones has vowed that he will burn copies of the Koran.

Empires don't usually decline so precipitously. Indeed, in less than a century the United States has come from being a rising beacon of hope to a declining world power, most of whose citizens have a backwater mentality. Little wonder then that Zionists despise modern Americans even as they exploit them. Not only has America been tricked into supporting Israel financially – despite its economic decline – it has also be duped into fighting Israel’s wars too. In fact Zionists must be relishing the prospect of the promised Koran burning.
