So much for the 1st amendment. Museums showing paintings of Jesus with feces thrown on it, still no problem.

S.A.’s Rackspace pulls church’s website

A San Antonio company found itself sucked into the controversy over the Dove World Outreach Center's planned burning of religious texts.

Rackspace Hosting Inc. hosted the Florida church's website, but stopped providing services late Wednesday after determining the Dove World Outreach Center violated a provision in its contract regarding hate speech, a Rackspace spokesman said.

The company received complaints that the center violated the acceptable use policy, which is available on the Rackspace website, Rackspace spokesman Dan Goodgame said..

Goodgame would not say what material violated the policy, but said that on Wednesday, Rackspace tried to get the church to take it down.

The church refused, Goodgame said, so Rackspace gave it time to move its content off the servers and then stopped hosting the site.

“It was a short conversation,” he said. “They made clear they were going to continue doing what they were doing.”

The Dove World Outreach Center's website and another site promoting a book by church pastor Terry Jones were not working Thursday afternoon. Multiple calls to a phone number listed for the center got busy signals.

“The reason we terminated our relationship with them as a customer is because they violated their contract with us, specifically the acceptable use provisions regarding hate speech,” Goodgame said. “So it's strictly a business matter and a contract matter for us.”

Rackspace has more than 100,000 customers and cannot monitor all the content on its server, he said. Employees looked into the Dove World Outreach Center only because the company received complaints.

Rackspace's censure does not tread on the U.S. Constitution, said Jennifer Henderson, chairwoman of the communications department at Trinity University.

This is pretty much prima facie evidence that Jones is ACTING ALONE, no Jewish handlers.

If he was a "tool," the NSA would be running his website.

Unless the church associates committed a severe crime or violated a contract, it was pointless for the web-hosting company to cease providing its service, even if the company disagreed the church associate's actions.

All he's done is stir up hate between muzzes and Americans. Cui bono? This guy's past is starting to come out too. Why didn't he toss in a talmud?


Ahmadinejad: Koran burning Zionist plot

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Florida Pastor Terry Jones' plans to torch Korans on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks was a "Zionist plot, and against the teachings of all divine prophets," Iran's Press TV reported Friday.



"The Zionists and their supporters are on the path to collapse and decline and such desperate actions will not save them, but will accelerate their fall and annihilation," the Iranian president said during a meeting between Iran's supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior Iranian officials in Tehran.



The pastor at the center of the Koran-burning dispute said the imam behind plans to build an Islamic center near ground zero in New York City has ignored his deadline to get in touch, Sky News reported Friday.



On Thursday the pastor, Terry Jones, announced he would cancel plans to burn copies of the Koran on Saturday, the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

From the president to the pope. This had to have been staged propaganda.

'US media pushing for a war on Iran'

US media outlets biased in favor of Israel are creating a Christian-Zionist community which is demonizing Islam and pushing for a war against Iran, Israeli lobby critic James Morris says.

“The pro-Israeli biased media focuses on anything that is anti-Islamic,” Morris told Press TV.

Anti-Islam sentiment is disturbingly on the rise in the West and is satisfying some bigger political agenda, Morris noted.

He quoted US Congressman Ron Paul as saying, “The neo-conservatives… are trying to set the stage for a war with Iran and what better way to do that than demonize the Muslim population internationally.”

Morris stated that the current commander of US and US-led troops in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, has "courageously said that the Israel-Palestinian conflict was fuelling anti-American sentiments in the Arab-Muslim world and was putting our troops in danger, not only in Afghanistan but in Iraq as well.”

Morris noted that US media outlets are not giving this story proper coverage due to the "obvious pro-Israel bias with that media that is also out to demonize Islam when it can."

He accused US media outlets of disseminating the relentless propaganda of the neoconservatives, saying they are trying to push for another war, as was the case with Iraq.

Morris made the remarks after Reverend Terry Jones announced his decision to cancel his plan to burn the Holy Quran at his Florida-based church on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Despite the fact that Jones' plan to treat the Muslim holy book in a sacrilegious way is still being condemned in the United States and the rest of the world, Morris says that “he [Jones] is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things,” and added that “it is just really tragic that he has had this kind of platform internationally in the media.”
