Was “Burn a Koran” pastor arrested for child pornography?

The big buzz on the Internet today is the claim that Terry Jones of Dove World Outreach Center was arrested on charges of child pornography. True? False?

A little digging turns up no — zero — not one news story on the subject. No, in fact the story, repeated with glee across the blogosphere, can be traced back entirely to an anonymous August 4th posting on the Gainesville, Florida page of “Topix”. It reads:

Infamous Pastor Terry Jones, known for his activism against the mayor, and for his “Burn a Qur’an Day” has been arrested for possession of child pornography. Wednesday August 4, 2010 Pastor Terry Jones was arrested for sharing pictures of children in various states of nudity over the popular file sharing network Limewire.

I hope whoever started this gets their ass sued.

No questions or new threads necessary.

...you are propagating rumors and falsehoods.

You should start a thread asking whether Glen Beck raped and killed a girl in 92. Those always go pretty well...

...he has never denied it, has he?


:evilgrin:

think and then make this intolerant asshole defend himself - you know the way they handle the President.
