Florida pastor says he's 'rethinking' canceled Quran burning (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/09/09/florida.quran.burning/index.html?hpt=T1#fbid=0vpWWRS039V&wom=true)

Rauf and Imam Muhammad Musri, a Florida Muslim leader who appeared with Jones, said later no agreement on a meeting or relocation of the mosque had been reached.
Jones insisted the church "put a temporary hold" on the Quran burning event after he had been told by Musri of a deal to move the New York mosque.
"I am actually very disappointed and very shocked because if this turns out to be true, he [Musri] clearly, clearly lied to us," Jones said Thursday evening.
Wayne Sapp, associate pastor of the small church, said that the Quran burning scheduled for Saturday was postponed until the proposed meeting in New York is confirmed. The church will wait 24 hours to confirm the meeting will take place before making any further decision about the Quran burning, Sapp said.
I read earlier today that the 911 Mosque owner bought the building with cash to the tune of ~$4.5 million. Trump offered 20% more than he paid to buy him out but was refused.
I wonder if the backers of the Imam were none other than some rich, uh, grabblers (http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/215423/detail/), that never planned to build a mosque but to inflame the people and end up doubling their money when an investor steps up and raises the buyout price. Trump is already the phantom ebay price bumper offering Rauf over 6 mil on his 4.5 investment. Not a bad idea!
As an aside I really dig the thread posted by Ragnarok, Burning of John Maynard Keynes Book Causes Uproar (http://gold-silver.us/forum/general-discussion/burning-of-john-maynard-keynes-book-causes-uproar/) - I think this is a fabulous idea all gold bugs should organize!
