The FBI is concerned Islamic extremists might attack this Saturday's Koran burning.
The intelligence bulletin states that Jones' advertising of the event drew an immediate response from a known terrorist website frequented by radicals. Postings on the Al-Faloja website included a forum member writing, "I wish to detonate myself in this church now. ... I want to become a martyr and detonate myself in this filthiest filth."
Another member warned, "Oh you Americans, I swear by Allah if you do this deed await a war that you have not witnessed ... we will not rest until we kill tens of you in place of every letter in the book of Allah. ..."
Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.

Re: FBI Says Retaliation for Koran Burning 'Likely'
This is officially the most bone-headed thing I've ever heard of. What the hell does this dude even seek to accomplish? Radical muslims will be inflamed, the rest of the muslim world will be put off, and the overwhelming majority of christians will be embarrassed.
Indeed, I've seen no one that thinks this is a good idea. FFS, even Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck have spoken out against it.
Re: FBI Says Retaliation for Koran Burning 'Likely'
Exactly. Even after Petraeus said it will put soldiers lives in danger over there and he is still going to go through with it shows that he's not doing it for anything 'good', just trying to get his rocks off and piss people off.
Re: FBI Says Retaliation for Koran Burning 'Likely'
Maybe the Muslims should capitalize on this and print off a few thousand copies of the Koran then sell them to the Christan's to burn. Then we could have the headline Christian's Fund Terrorism
Re: FBI Says Retaliation for Koran Burning 'Likely'
When news goes international like this based on a story that has originated from one of America's top backwoods hillbilly towns I get nauseous.
Not unlike the movie Religulous where Bill Maher exploits the religious beliefs of ignorant people from the smallest most remote towns in America.
What's interesting though is when you compare these hillbilly extremists to those living in the Middle East in hillbilly backwoods parts of those countries. You find similar patters of thinking in both.
As long as their are places where information does not travel, and communication has broken down, and ignorance runs rampant, you will find extremes, as well as fantasies. And there seems to always be someone there to exploit these people. Whether it be employers, ministers, politicians or terrorists.

^ great points. most these problems are deeply embedded within these nutjobs and extremeists' --- here, and in the middle east as well --- consciousness from past ages. ffs, what a bloody shit storm. that redneck really fucked up astronomically. so idiotic.
i feel like a broken record saying this, but a full on religious war could destroy civilization. this shit needs to stop. these class of folks really need to reflect and evolve past thier petty, backward dogma and hatin. fuck.
A Florida pastor who called off a Quran burning said late Thursday he would "rethink our position" after a Muslim leader said the minister incorrectly announced that the proposed Islamic center near New York's ground zero would be moved as part of a deal.
He's saying that he's gotten agreement to call this off since the Imam in NYC has agreed to move the mosque near Ground Zero. The Imam in NYC said he has never spoken of any such thing to this guy. What a jagass.
Good job on the media all over the us building this up into a shitstorm, like normal.
