The Florida pastor who planned to burn Korans on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks today now says he won’t “ever” burn Islam’s holy book.
Terry Jones, who arrived in New York City last night, is still seeking a meeting with Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who plans to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site. The pastor said in an interview on NBC’s “Today Show” that no meeting has been scheduled.
