A New Jersey car dealer plans to keep his word after offering Florida pastor Terry Jones a new car if he promised to not burn a Quran.

Car dealer Brad Benson made the offer in one of his dealership's quirky radio ads, which focus more on current events than cars. But he was surprised when a representative for Jones called to collect the 2011 Hyundai Accent, which retails for $14,200.

"They said unless I was doing false advertising, they would like to arrange to pick up the car," Benson recalled. At first he thought it was a hoax, so Benson asked Jones to send in a copy of his driver's license. He did.

> He said he plans to donate the car to an organization that helps abused Muslim women.

Why not donate it to the widows and orphans of US soldiers instead..

Its just I've known some abused women who made up their stories to get charity handouts, whilst I'm pretty sure widows and orphans are going to be a little more deserving on the whole, and whats wrong with helping people at home so to speak first, why must we always be helping everyone else but ourselves.

Oh yes, I can quite imagine during WWII that had Churchill burned a copy of Hitlers favourite book, it would have made the war so much worse..

I'm not really the book burning type, but considering how many books are sent to incinerators on a regular basis to stop our musuems overflowing, adding another one to the pile of any type, seems such a minor thing that I can imagine no one would really be that offended compared with the many other injusticies in the world.

Perhaps because people don't know what is being burned, they don't care..

Storm and teacup spring to mind here.

Poor guess there, as you will often find me standing up for religious groups, they after all are responsible for the lower crime here than neighbouring less religious areas..

But I must go back to ignoring you, as I noticed you suddenly started writing some good stuff again, and I'd hate to put you off your stroke.
