Deadline passes with no offer of meeting for Koran-burning pastor
The pastor who planned an “International Burn-a-Koran Day” is still hopeful of meeting the imam overseeing plans for a controversial Islamic centre in New York for talks.
Pastor Terry Jones had planned to fly to New York tonight and hoped to meet Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf tomorrow – on the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the US – to talk about unhappiness about the centre being sited close to Ground Zero.
