Pastor: Ground Zero Imam "Clearly" Lied
UPI reports:
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Florida pastorTerry Jones says he was "clearly, clearly" lied to and is reconsidering his decision to cancel the burning of copies of the Koran Saturday.
The pastor of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville said an imam misled him Thursday before Jones announced he would cancel the burning planned for the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, The Washington Post reported Friday.
Jones said he would "rethink our decision." He said the imam in Florida "clearly, clearly lied to us" about a deal to stop construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York.
Muhammad Musri, the Florida imam working with Jones to try to persuade him to call off the Koran burning, said he had brokered a meeting with the project developers in New York, not an agreement to end their plans to build the religious facility within blocks of where the Twin Towers once stood.
