4/24/11, EU Times:  A local judge jailed Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, FL, and his associate, Wayne Sapp, after a court found their planned protest outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan, could lead to violence.  During his court appearance, Terry Jones argued that the Qu'ran promotes terrorist activities around the world.  He also insisted that his right to protest against Islam is protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.  "The First Amendment does us no good if it confines us to saying what is popular," Terry Jones pointed out.  Pastor Jones and Mr. Sapp made national headlines after their ceremonial "Trial and Execution" of the Qu'ran by burning lead to deadly protests in Afghanistan.  Last month's Qu'ran burning unleashed violent protests by Muslims, during which time 7 UN members were killed, one beheaded, and more than 20 people were killed in all.  "Islam is not a religion of peace" said Jones in an earlier statement.  "The time has come to hold Islam accountable."  Dearborn is home to the largest Islamic community in the United States.  During the 2000 census, Arab Americans comprised 30% of Dearborn's population.

My Comments:  I have to give this man credit for his faith and boldness!  If Christians made even half the protest against kicking God and prayer out of our schools, this nation would be in a lot better shape today.  These Muslims cut peoples' heads off who disagree with them and they are taking precedence in US courts now - go figure.  Jesus literally cast the moneychangers out of the temple and turned over their tables with Godly indignation (Matthew 21:12); how much then should we defend the faith?  I would say, "A lot more than we have in the past."  If we are firm about respecting the house of God and upholding God's commandments and righteousness, people may be offended, but if they ever truly get saved, they will respect our stand for the faith and truth.  On the other hand, better to offend man than God Himself!
