Terry Jones

Was due, the Muslim book burning was held Saturday, September 11, 2010, at 6 pm local time. Initially, this plan will be held to commemorate the tragedy of the terrorist attacks on the twin towers a symbol of the United States economy, the World Trade Center (WTC), 11 September 2001. The U.S. government accuses al-Qaeda terrorist network was behind this attack.
"We're not going to burn the Koran," said Jones, as quoted from the page of CNN, 11 September 2010. "Not today. And never will."
Jones has arrived in New York Friday night local time and was trying to arrange a meeting with Imam Abdul Rauf, who was behind the mosque construction project and Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero.
