FBI Says Hezbollah Has $2.4 Million Bounty on Head of Koran-Burning Pastor




Not sure if this guy knows the people who want him dead will stop at nothing to kill him; look at the Mohammed cartoonists, it’s been years and there are still constant attempts to murder them

Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who supervised the burning of the Koran last month, said he’s not backing down after receiving death threats.

Jones said he feels no responsibility for the violence sparked by his church’s action, including the violent protest at a United Nations complex in Afghanistan Saturday that left at least 11 people dead — and 20 killed in weekend violence. . . .

Of Saturday’s violence, Jones said it proved his point.

“We wanted to raise awareness of this dangerous religion and dangerous element,” Jones said. “I think [today's attack] proves that there is a radical element of Islam.”

While Jones does not plan on any future Koran burnings, the death threats are streaming in.

“Right now we have a little over 300 threats, today 10 threats have come in,” Jones said.

Some threats are so specific that they name date time and place.

The FBI said Hezbollah has a $2.4 million bounty on his head.

But Jones and his assistant Wayne Sapp, the man who actually soaked the Koran in kerosene and burned it, said they’re not afraid and are willing to die for their beliefs.

“We see growth around the world — we feel very strongly for U.S. — United States, U.N. to stand up and do something…Muslim countries must open doors to freedom in,” Jones said.
