He isn't known for getting in front
of cameras. His daughter usually speaks for the
church (and is a lot prettier).
He was quoted in a press release on CNN yesterday as saying that
he would burn the Koran if the Florida guy did not.
Fred Phelps is the founder and senior pastor of the God Hates Fags
church: Westboro Baptist Church.

I hate to sound dumb but who is Fred Phelps? And once you tell me will I
feel even dumber?
I know about the God hates Fags church, but I never knew about them
burning Qur'ans! Why no protest about this? Where is the islamic
outrage? Why no pundit condemnations?
And most importantly where can I get a good gin and tonic?
Here's the link to the Qur'an burning:

Yes, that's the "God Hates Fags" minister.

Terry Jones: 'We will not burn the
Quran'
Fla.
pastor says on NBC's TODAY show that his church will
never carry out plan

Pastor Terry Jones told
NBC's TODAY show on Saturday that his church in
Gainesville, Fla., would not burn Qurans in protest to
the building of an Islamic center near the site of the
Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
"We will definitely not burn the Quran,
no," he said.
"Not today, not ever," he said when
pressed about whether his planned demonstration might
happen at a later date. He explained that it would not
happen even if the Islamic center is built near ground
zero.
Jones flew to New York to appear on
NBC's TODAY show and told interviewer Carl Quintanilla
that there was no meeting set up with New York Imam
Faisal Rauf.
He said he hoped a meeting would take
place, however.
"Even though we have not burned one
Quran, we have gotten over 100 death threats," Jones
said. "We feel that God is telling us to stop, and we
also hope that ... maybe that will open up the door to
maybe be able to talk to the imam."
Jones said that his church's goal was
"to expose that there is an element of Islam that is
very dangerous and very radical."
He told NBC that "we have definitely
accomplished that mission."
