Anti-abortion rights activist Randall Terry and anti-Islam Rev. Terry Jones — undoubtably two of slickest self-promoting crusaders for their respective causes — ran into one another outside the White House on Thursday, where Terry said the pastor “blinked” on his plan to burn copies of the Koran.
“You should’a burned the Korans by the way, you blinked. You should’a burned them,” Terry said.
Jones may have another shot. An associate of Rev. Jones told Terry that the pastor’s organization had a “International Judge the Koran” event scheduled for March 20.
“We’re going to put it on trial, judge it,” he said. If the people on his website vote to burn the Koran, they’ll do it.
“We’ll definitely do it, yes,” Rev. Jones told Terry.
“Don’t blink!” Terry told the pastor. “If you’re going to do it, do it. Just don’t blink and leave the results in the hands of God.”
