The German government has barred US pastor Terry Jones from entering the country. Jones, a notorious extremist who gained global attention in 2010 by threatening to burn the Koran, has said he backs the anti-Islam film that has sparked worldwide protests. Berlin acted on information that German far-right groups planned to invite him.
US hate preacher Terry Jones, one of the supporters of the anti-Islam video "Innocence of Muslims," is to be banned from travelling to Germany. According to information obtained by SPIEGEL ONLINE, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has asked the Interior Ministry to prevent Jones from entering the country.
A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said Sunday that a visit by Jones would "run counter to the interest of maintaining public order."
The ban came in response to information that German far-right groups such as Pro Deutschland and Pro NRW plan to invite the preacher to Germany in the coming days.
Sources close to the German Foreign Ministry said Westerwelle believes "hate preachers have no business being in Germany."

Yes, but has he raped and murdered any ambassadors or burned any embassies?

So then, shouldn't these panty-wetting idiots be ejecting all the murdering islamoNazis clerics and their followers, they have currently infesting their country?
Gee; guess the German press is as unbiased as the American MSM.
Poor Terry; if he wanted to travel to Europe he should have burned a Bible.
Crazy appeasement
Some old habits never die with the Germans.
This is meaningless. With EU’s open border policy all Jones has to do is get into any EU nation and go where he pleases. Like all the illegal islamics do over there.

I don't agree with Terry's tactics...
....But he has the right to express his convictions & opinions...
Freedom-loving Germans should speak up...
OTHERWISE....
Someone might rightfully surmise...
THE SS IS ALIVE AND WELL
....AND LIVING IN DEUTSCHLAND.
A wonderful opportunity for Jones. He should send a whole bunch of videos to Germany, subtitled in German. By showing a lot more chutzpah than the clergy in Germany typically do, I bet he would pick up a substantial fan base.
He could do all sorts of things that Germans fantasize about, that are legal in the US but illegal in Germany, such as wearing an open carry revolver.
And he could preach a fiery gospel, something that most of them have never heard and would be a big turn on for them. And lash out against the German and European governments for their failings.
It would drive the German government nuts.
Westerwelle believes “hate preachers have no business being in Germany.”
No mention of Hate Imams though.
Europe will be ablaze before long.
Duetschland unter alles!
