The U.S. govern-ment has turned up the pressureon the pastor o a small Floridachurch who plans to burn copieso the Quran on Saturday.It warned the Rev. Terry Joneson Tuesday that doing so couldendanger U.S. troops and Ameri-cans everywhere.But Jones insisted he will goahead with his plan to protest theSept. 11 terrorist attacks, rebu-ing criticism rom the top U.S.general in Aghan-istan, the WhiteHouse, the StateDepartment anda host o religiousleaders.Gen. David Pe-traeus warned inan e-mail to TheAssociated Presson Tuesday that“images o theburning o a Quranwould undoubtedly be used byextremists in Aghanistan — andaround the world — to infamepublic opinion and incite vio-lence.” Jones, pastor o the DoveWorld Outreach Center — ithas about 50 members, is in-dependent o any denomina-tion and espouses an anti-Is-lam philosophy — respondedthat he’s also concerned, but“wondering, ‘When do westop?’” He reused to cancelthe protest.
