Florida Minister Says Not Planning to Burn Quran on Sept 11

佛罗里达牧师说不打算在9月11日焚烧古兰经

The leader of a small Christian church in the southern U.S. state of Florida says he is no longer planning to burn copies of the Quran, as long as he is able to meet with the imam behind a proposed Islamic center in New York near the site where the World Trade Center once stood.

美国南部佛罗里达州的一个小基督教会的牧师说，只要他能与推动在纽约世贸中心旧址附近修建伊斯兰中心的伊玛目，他就不再准备焚烧可兰经。

The Reverend Terry Jones told U.S. media Friday that he is planning to meet with the imam on Saturday. But the New York cleric, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, has denied any such meeting.

琼斯牧师星期五告诉美国媒体，他计划在周六与纽约伊玛目会面。但纽约伊玛目拉乌夫否认有任何会面计划。

Imam Rauf also expressed surprise at Jones' announcement Thursday that Muslim leaders had agreed to move the planned Islamic cultural center and mosque away from an area near the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks. He said there is no such agreement.

伊玛目拉乌夫还对琼斯星期四的声明感到惊讶。琼斯说，穆斯林领导人已经同意把计划中的伊斯兰文化中心和清真寺从9/11恐怖袭击地点附近移到其他地方。伊玛目拉乌夫说，他们并没有同意这样做。

In response, the controversial pastor said he feels he was lied to by a Muslim cleric in his state of Florida, Imam Muhammad Musri (president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida), who had been helping to negotiate a settlement.

作为回应，琼斯这位有争议的牧师说，佛罗里达州的穆斯林伊玛目穆斯里对他撒了慌。穆斯里是佛罗里达中部地区穆斯林社区的领袖，他一直在协助通过谈判找到解决分歧的途径。

Musri denied that he misled the pastor, and said he is still trying to set up a meeting between himself, Jones and Rauf to discuss the proposed center.

穆斯里否认他误导了琼斯牧师，并表示他仍在努力举行一个有他自己、琼斯和拉乌夫三人参加的会议，讨论拟议中的穆斯林中心建址问题。
