The pastor of a small US church who wanted to burn copies of the Koran has cancelled his protest. Terry Jones said he was calling off the Florida event after the group behind a planned mosque close to Ground Zero in New York agreed to relocate it. Mr Jones had said the burning would be a stand against terrorism, but his plan was internationally condemned. President Barack Obama had warned Mr Jones the event would be “a recruitment bonanza” for al-Qaeda. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11255366 added by: littlwarrior
