Pastor Terry Jones (again)
The "Quran Burner" of Gainesville, Florida is trying to get back in the spotlight one more time. Terry Jones, a self-styled preacher for a church of about 30 folks down in Florida went to Detroit this time in an attempt to get his face on camera again.
Jones once had the center stage for internation news last year while trying to establish "Burn A Quran" day.

After railing at Dearborn City Hall against Muslims and African-Americans, Quran-burning Pastor Terry Jones and his supporters were thwarted today in their plans to speak out some more at a nearby Arab festival after a few angry protesters confronted him.

Earlier, Jones had led a rally against Islam, where pastors and a rabbi spoke about what they claim is a threat of Islam in U.S.

Jones sported sunglasses, a bulletproof vest, and a T-shirt that read: "Everything I ever needed to know about Islam I learned on 9-11."

He tried to walk the two miles to the Arab festival, but had to keep changing directions as protesters, mostly with the group By Any Means Necessary -- blocked his path.Quran_burner_Jones_June2011

After a few minutes of scuffling, Dearborn police swarmed in to whisk Jones and his assistant pastor, Wayne Sapp, into a police car. Jones did not speak at the Arab festival as planned.

Police arrested six counter-protesters, ages 18 to 22, Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad said. Five of the six arrested were not from Dearborn, he said, and city life proceeded as normal despite the rally.

"We kept Michigan Avenue open," Haddad said. "That's very important...No one knew he was here."

Compared to a similar rally Jones held in April at City Hall, this one attracted markedly fewer supporters and counter-demonstrators. There were about 15 Jones supporters, one of them holding up a U.S. flag, while wearing a belt buckle shaped like a human skull.

Matthew Keller, 78, a Dearborn resident who supports Jones, carried a U.S. flag and wore a T-shirt that said: "Islam is of the Devil"

Keller said he has Muslim neighbors, but is concerned about Islam.

"They got to be put under control," Keller said. "I'm a patriot. I'm a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ above everything."

Jones announced a new plan to target Muslim-heavy communities across the U.S., including neighborhoods in Chicago where the Nation of Islam has a presence. He said he would be back in Dearborn.

Rabbi Nachum Shifren of California launched more anti-Muslim invective.

He put himself above God when he is paster that suppose to believe in God. Did he clearly understand Islam before he accuse Islam?

People fear what they don't know, And I do agree with
White Guy, Muslims need to educate the non-believers.

White guy do you have any idea how stupid you sound. I can't believ you just typed that sentence LOL. This Islamic thing? That doesn't even make sense. Islam means submission to the 1 God. Wow, scary ha? People like you is what makes the rest of the world believe America is full of uneducated tools. Islam is what was taught by both Moses and Jesus (pbut), before man corrupted the teachings. You are a strange individual and if you actually read the Quran you would be embarassed at how little you know and how ridiculous you are. Thank GOD you are the minority. I feel sorry for you. It is 2011, no excuse not to learn something, the credible factual information is out there. Islam is perfect. Don't confuse media propaganda and culture and tradition with Religion, very separate issues. I am more scared of people like you, yuck. The world is more scared of western countries and how they are run by a bunch of immoral people who try and scare people to control them, that is what people should be worried about. I don't walk down the street and do something bad and then say, I did this on behalf of all blondes with a dog, and then the whole world blames blondes with dogs, stupid ha? Just because someone says something doesn't make it so. Judge a religion by its scripture not its people. Not sure what your religious beliefs are but if you do some research you will see, it isn't so pretty on your side of the fence, actually it is worse. This guy is a lost cause, simply put, he will go to the grave a hateful horrible man. May God have mercy on his soul.

This is a clear stupidity and a sickness of Pastor Terry Jones. He is trying to get the worldwide media attention through his stupidity. __By burning the QURAN He will not going to get any publicity, only the curse of the Almighty for his destruction in this world and the hereafter.__Mr Terry Jones, if you want to now about islam read the Quran and the sayings of the prophet with understanding

@White Guy in US
Did you know:" a human being is oblivious untill death. Only thereafter is he aware ". So you better wake up.

#1 Really Annoyed With This Guy... 2011-06-18 00:18
Seems this guy needs more attention and time in the spotlight. When will he learn...? Even if the Shaytan (devil) is on his side, he will still be blocked ... whether by right minded citizens (those who believe in their own constitutions) or Muslims who have pride in their religions (and don't feel like changing it at the drop of a hat).
