(No relation.) Because the nutjob in Florida who caused all this fuss has backed down.<\/p>\n<p>According to &#8220;Reverend&#8221; Terry Jones, the Islamic Center Rec\/Mosque to have been built at Ground Zero will not be built on that site, and according to Jones, these to cancellations are part of a deal struck between the leader of the Islamic Center&#8217;s community and the reverend himself.  None of this has been confirmed, but it is being reported by National Public Radio.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nOh, and Rev. Jones has now decided that no one else will be burning Qurans:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans,&#8221; Jones said during a news conference. We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p>Jones said Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida told him that officials would guarantee that the mosque would be moved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I asked him three times, and I have witnesses,&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;If it&#8217;s not moved, then I think Islam is a very poor example of religion. I think that would be very pitiful. I do not expect that.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Very biblical, with the &#8220;asking three times&#8221; and all.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, Jones has succumbed to pressure from the stealth-Islamic president and his secret jack booted black helicopter riding security forces.
