so that dude who was going to burn the Qur'an cancelled his plans because he got the mosque at ground zero to be moved.

An interesting topic, which there have been threads on. But this guy got completely what he wanted and that's media coverage. He had 30 followers and this would have gone nowhere if the media didn't jump all over this. and as a result of him just saying he wanted to burn a Qur'an (which is actually completely within his rights), there was international outcry, people burning American flags (which IS illegal if I'm not mistaken? at least within the US) and finally got the planned mosque moved in exchange of cancelling his event.

here's an article. just more proof at how silly humans can be. Symbolic as it is, it's just writing on a page after all

theres a pastor by the beach who wants to burn these crayons so he thought he would do it to get this church to go somewhere else, now they might not put it there. this islam will shoot people if he burns them, so we want to be non violent, but since they might movie the place it will be good for him, cause he can not burn them and hurt the feelings of those guys.

"The minister of a Florida church says he has cancelled plans to burn copies of the Qur'an because the person behind the effort to build an Islamic centre near Ground Zero has agreed to move its location."

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.
