Yes. Unlike the Torah or the Bible, the Quran is written by only one guy. A guy who wanted a hell of a lot of power and had to find a way to convince the locals he was on a mission from God. So he suckered them in, telling them that God spoke to him and told him we are all one happy family, but now I want you to do something new, let's say, just a bit of tweaking on Judaism. God just didn't speak to him in his head, but he actually jumped up to heaven on his horse and sat beside God and was told what to write. The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic icon because this is where Mohammed and his horse jumped up to heaven.

Anyway, the second half is God saying, "well, Fuck those Jews... they aren't listening to me anymore. You can kill anyone who doesn't submit to my will." So, since God changed his mind in part two, it supercedes part one. Back in reality, Mohammed wasn't able to get a lot of Jewish or Christian converts to his new religion, so he decided that God wanted them dead instead.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The anti-Muslim leader of a tiny Florida church backed off his threat to burn the Quran, defusing an international firestorm Thursday after he said he was promised that a planned Islamic center and mosque would be moved away from New York's ground zero. The imam planning the center, however, quickly denied such a deal.

The "preacher" got what he wanted - boatloads of fame and attention and $$$.
And more proof to outsiders that Christians do not follow their own holy book.

Someone above mentioned the fire marshall, I saw a quick blurb the other night where the local mayor (the subject of this cult's failed hate campaign last year) said that they did need a burn permit. I'm sure some half-ignorant 'follower" would've ponied up the fine.
