The pastor of a Gainesville, Florida, church planning to burn Korans on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks said he’s now “weighing” what to do after Army General David Petraeus’s warning that the event would endanger U.S. troops.

Terry Jones, senior pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center, told CNN that as of now, the church still intends to burn copies of the Koran as a protest against Islamic extremists.
