White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday that administration  officials are discussing whether to reach out to a Florida pastor to urge him not to go forward with plans to burn the Koran this weekend.

Rev. Terry Jones has so far ignored pleas to abandon his protest, which he says is being done to mark nine years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. But a cross-section of politicians, military officials and religious leaders ha

Just giving him more attention.

As much as I disagree with what the Pastor is doing, I do believe the gubmint needs to stay out of this one.  Seriously.  Unless Mr. Gibbs wants to speak to everyone who burns a flag in protest of whatever they are protesting about.  JMHO.

Jeez, I wonder why Americans doubt whether or not O'Bummer is a Muslim or not?

This is certainly not any of his ****in' business! Since when does an American President get involved in 1st Amendment slug fests? Unless of course, he has a personal interest.

I've been following this with interest, yes the guys a whack job and yes, he shouldn't be doing it.

However, if some one burned another religion's book, would Interpol have to declare a terrorist alert - somehow, I don't think so.

A few years ago the PLO took over a church in Isreal and held hostages. They tortured them, killed a few, wiped their ass on pages from the Bibles, burned a few and generally destroyed the Church and religious relics.....and the Methodist went wild killing....oh wait, no they didn't....sorry.

Obama has a nasty habit of meddling in minor affairs. First Henry Louis Gates Jr. and now this.

If those Qu'rans burn, I fully expect Khalif Zero to issue a fatwa against that church at the next presser from the White Mosque.

Barack Hussein Obama and the Koran: now he looks like an intermediary between America and Islam

I always love your posts Defiant! Well said.
I find it funny that lord nothing supports the victory mosque and yet paid no attention the rally that was held by Glenn Beck on "Restoring Honor". He has an opinion on the victory mosque, but not about Restoring Honor in America. Odd, isn't it??

What is more interesting, is the interview on CNN with Ground Zero Imam, he didn't actually threaten, but there was sure a not so subtle suggestion that if the U.S. doesn't toe the line with his Cordoboba initiative there would be a lot more problems.   In the case of this ground zero mosque, he is the one causing the mischief in Manhattan.

This whole thing is crazy.
I totally understand the pastor's frustration with Islam. However I think his approach is all wrong.
Yes he has the right to do this but just like putting up a Mosque on ground zero it is not appropriate.
