Texan saves Quran from Burning

AMARILLO, Texas — A skateboard-toting man grabbed a Quran from an evangelist who planned to burn the scripture at an event in an Amarillo park.

Twenty-three-year-old Jacob Isom grabbed the book from Repent Amarillo director David Grisham and delivered it to a leader from the Islamic Center of Amarillo.

According to the Amarillo Globe-News, about 200 people had gathered at Sam Houston Park in Saturday to show either support or opposition to Grisham's plans.

Witnesses say Grisham was arguing with opponents of the book-burning when Isom grabbed the Quran. Amid jeers from the crowd, Grisham got into a car and left without burning any copies of the Islamic scripture. Grisham told the newspaper that he "kind of expected the reaction."
