Terry Jones, a controversial Florida pastor, announced on Thursday that he will not burn hundreds of Korans to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
In his remarks, Mr. Jones said:
Our thought was the American people do not as a whole want the mosque at the ground zero location — that if they were willing to either cancel the mosque at the ground zero location, or if they were willing to move it away form that location, we should consider that a sign from God.
While Mr. Jones spoke as if a deal had already been reached to move the planned center from its Lower Manhattan location, two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center, Mr. Musri told reporters that no deal had been reached to change the location of the center in New York. Mr. Rauf has not yet commented on the announcement in Florida.
Mr. Jones claimed that Mr. Rauf “has agreed to move the location.” He added:
That cannot of course happen overnight, but he has agreed to do it…. The imam has agreed to move the mosque and we have agreed to cancel our event on Saturday. And on Saturday I will be flying up there to meet with him.
