Pastor Vows to Proceed with Quran Burning
-----------------------------------------



The Florida-based Christian pastor who wants to burn the Quran on
September 11th is vowing to continue with his plan. On Wednesday, Terry
Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center said he would proceed despite
complaints of bigotry and government warnings that burning the Muslim
holy book could endanger US troops.

Terry Jones: "It is possibly time for us in a new way to actually stand
up, confront terrorism. There is something very much wrong with our
policies when we stand there and we watch a building full of people die
because our so-called policies do not allow us to do anything. So, as of
right now, we are not convinced that backing down is the right thing.
So, on September the 11th, we shall continue with our planned event."
