A Florida pastor may have called off his plan to burn Qurans on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. But David Grisham, the leader of a militant evangelical group in Amarillo, tells the local CBS affiliate( http://www.newschannel10.com/global/story.asp?s=13135412 ) that he plans to publicly burn the Muslim holy book on Saturday. Grisham is the leader of Repent Amarillo, which gained attention in January when it launched a boycott of Houston after the city elected on openly gay mayor, Annise Parker: > According to Grisham, he has questioned why he should go through with his plan, > but in the end, he feels it is right. > “Terrorism was seeded by the ideas in the Quran. It’s the Quran that has put our troops > in danger. Burning one isn’t going to put our troops in danger. It’s the ideas contained > in that book that put them in danger,” said Grisham. Grisham is a security guard at a NUCLEAR-BOMB facility called Pantex, according to media reports. Repent Amarillo goes by the moniker “Army of God” and refers to itself as the “special forces of spiritual warfare.” The group has also gained attention for a campaign to shut down a local swingers club, as well as a “warfare map” posted on its website identifying its enemies in Amarillo. added by: toyotabedzrock
