I was just checking out Al Jazeera's coverage of this, and saw a
few details I hadn't previously seen. Not surprising, I suppose, because I don't follow news stories like this all that closely.

Since announcing the plan to burn the Qur’an, Pastor Jones has discovered that such an act has a host of negative externalities. For starters, his bank has demanded that he immediately repay the church’s mortgage balance, and his insurance company cancelled the church’s policy. Furthermore, the local authorities, citing strict fire codes, rejected twice his application to burn the holy book.
