Tony Blair I deplore the act of burning the Koran.

koran By far the big winner in this Koran burning story is the pastor Terry Jones who has supplanted Fred God Hates Fags Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church as the most loathed religious leader in America.

So now as Tom Maguire says theyre trying to climb off the tiger The AP announced today that it wont distribute photos or audio of the Koranburning if it happens while Fox News insists that it wont cover the event at all.

And just this morning Jones had a visit from the FBI.

So That church that wants to burn the Koran this weekend Dove World Outreach Center While we cant make them disappear altogether theyve at least been taken off the internet by their web host Rackspace.
