| Pastor Terry Jones to receive free car for not burning Korans |
| 2010-10-15 |
| THE controversial pastor who incited international outrage over a threat to burn copies of the Koran on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 terror attacks will receive a new car for calling off the demonstration. New Jersey car dealer, and former New York Giants centre, Brad Benson made a promotional radio offer at the height of the controversy to give Terry Jones a brand new Hyundai if he canceled the burn. Jones, who abandoned the public burning on the eve of the September 11 anniversary following pressure from President Obama and Defence Secretary Gates, came to collect on the car dealer's offer earlier this month. David Cantin, general manager at Brad Benson Hyundai, says Pastor Jones called the dealership about ten days ago to arrange delivery of the vehicle. "He lived up to his end of the bargain, and we're living up to our end," Mr Cantin said. He added Pastor Jones would receive a 2011 Hyundai Accent, expected for delivery by the end of next week. The listing price for a new Accent starts at $US13,329. |

| #2 It is shameful that our soldiers are bravely serving overseas so that we can implement sharia law as fast as possible in this country. |

| #1 That won't make a dent in the fact that he had his mortgage called in by his bank and his property insurance cancelled. That's the way the US works nowadays to force those into compliance who would have in the past been protected by the ACLU. He's been made a non-person, along with Derek Fenton. |
