The pastor behind the threat to burn hundreds of Qur'ans in Florida said the event had been cancelled permanently.
"We will definitely not burn the Qur'an, no," Terry Jones, head of a congregation of about 50 at the Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, told NBC's Today show.
When pressed about whether his planned demonstration might happen at a later date, he said: "Not today, not ever."
Jones said no meeting had been set up with Feisal Abdul Rauf, the New York imam behind the plans for the Islamic centre.
Jones said his church's goal was "to expose that there is an element of Islam that is very dangerous and very radical" and claimed: "We have definitely accomplished that mission."
