A Florida pastor, notorious for publicly burning copies of the Koran, has removed his image from the front of a mall french fry stand he co-owns over concerns following the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in France, reports the Bradenton Herald.

Pastor Terry Jones, part owner in Fry Guys Gourmet Fries (“We take fries seriously“) located in a Bradenton mall, removed his image which sat on the counter beside pictures of the other two co-owners after the mall manager raised concerns.

“At first I thought the pictures would not be so recognizable,” Jones said. “They were supposed to be more of a cartoon type of thing.”

DeSoto Square Mall manager Robert Tackett was not previously aware of Jones history of burning copies of the Koran which landed him a spot on an al-Qaida ‘wanted dead or alive’ propaganda poster.

1. This guy is an islamophobe, imho, but

He should be able to burn a million Korans if that's what he wants to do, without threats and of losing his life.

but if he burns a million Koreans they're going to lock him up and throw away the key.

15. It's disrespectful and purposefully provocative, and therefore vile and disgusting.

Seriously, the Charlie Hebdo comics were also vile and disgusting.

Vile and disgusting acts of speech are not excuses for murder.
