go ahead with~

アメリカで今，最大が関心事が，9/11にイスラム教のコーラン焼却を予定しているフロリダ州のpastor Terry Jones氏の動向です。とうとう米政府までが師に警告を発しましたが，Jones牧師は「強行する」ようです。さてわれわれにもなじみのある（とくに「アメ口」の愛唱者には！）この go aheadの持つニュアンスはいかがなもんでしょうか。gachaくん，どうぞ。櫻井くんとどっちが早いかな？？（UG）
Pressure rises on pastor who wants to burn Quran

GAINESVILLE, Florida (AP) -- The government turned up the pressure Tuesday on the head of a small Florida church who plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11, warning him that doing so could endanger U.S. troops and Americans everywhere.
But the Rev. Terry Jones insisted he would go ahead with his plans, despite criticism from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders.
Jones, who is known for posting signs proclaiming that Islam is the devil's religion, says the U.S. Constitution gives him the right to publicly set fire to the book that Muslims consider the word of God.
Gen. David Petraeus warned Tuesday in an e-mail to The Associated Press that "images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan -- and around the world -- to inflame public opinion and incite violence." It was a rare example of a military commander taking a position on a domestic political matter.
Jones responded that he is also concerned but is "wondering, 'When do we stop?'" He refused to cancel the protest set for Saturday at his Dove World Outreach Center, a church that espouses an anti-Islam philosophy.
"How much do we back down? How many times do we back down?" Jones told the AP. "Instead of us backing down, maybe it's to time to stand up. Maybe it's time to send a message to radical Islam that we will not tolerate their behavior."
Still, Jones said he will pray about his decision.
