Terry Jones, pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center who had threatened a 9/11 Quran burning at the church, told NBC’s Today show that “we have decided to cancel the burning…God is telling us to stop.”

He says that his Gainesville, Fla., church’s goal was “to expose that there is an element of Islam that is very dangerous and very radical.”
He tells NBC that “we have definitely accomplished that mission.”
He says no meeting is planned with the imam leading the center but he hopes one will take place.
Just as the Westboro Baptists predicted.
