Buffalo, NY – A Florida pastor has backed off from his plans to burn copies of the Quran Saturday to mark the anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. But ust before word broke that Pastor Terry Jones decided not to conduct his protest, WBFO'S Eileen Buckley spoke to a local Muslim woman about tensions between Muslim's and Americans.

Tahmina Rehman has been living as a member of Buffalo's Muslim community for the past 30-years. She said it is "hurtful" to hear of any threat to the Muslim's holy book. Rehman reflects on the horrific terrorist attack of 2001 and the fight over building a Mosque in New York City.
