Controversial Anti-Muslim Pastor Is Flooded Out Of Planned Qur'an Burning Site
The Lakeland, Florida Ledger reported yesterday that controversial anti-Muslim pastor Terry Jones is looking for an alternative site for his planned provocative commemoration of this year's anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. Jones had planned to burn 2,998 Qur'ans-- one for each American lost in the attacks. However, the yard of Mulberry, Florida resident Bill McKinney where the burning was to take place is flooded. The site of an old cow pasture, it has been under water for a month. So Jones is now looking for a new venue somewhere near Mulberry. Jones has sold his old church, Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville. (See prior related posting.)
