DETROIT (WXYZ) - The jury has found that a proposed protest by Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, the largest mosque in the United States, is likely to breach the peace and incite violence.
The jury has been debating since 3:30 p.m .Thursday. The main issue of the trial was whether or not Jones' main purpose was to say or do something that would incite violence.

You are on the list. Ping. (I hadn’t read your post when I pinged this thread. Don’t expect your own personal ping every time. ;)
The words "Quran-burning" will appear in every MSM report on this.
Most media consumers it will conclude that the pastor was planning to start a fire outside of a mosque and rationalize it away.
Thanks for the ping. GRRRRREAT thread. Thanks to all posters.

America’s elected representatives and robed mullahs orchestrating our submission to sharia. Collectivists of a feather...
Defund all collectivist’s collectives.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.

So...now we are wasting money with the courts on something they may or may not occur? What a joke.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
“Free speech for me, but not for thee”
The liberal motto. The jury was WRONG in so many ways. Does this set the precedent that anything that offends me I can use as an excuse to commit acts of violence?
“Stunned, supporters of Pastor Terry Jones are asking: how could he be jailed before he even attempted to protest at mosque?”
And that *IS* the question they should be asking.
Amen brother, amen.
This wasn't a permit hearing. This was (besides a circus) a "peace bond" hearing. He lost. Consequently, he has been legally restrained from visiting the mosque, or its adjoining property. That, of course, is absurd and SURELY won't withstand appellate review.
It would be interesting what would happen if he did show up. Would they arrest him, per the terms of the peace bond, and if so, then what? He could, because of his confinement, then file a habeas petition with the federal government. In fact, that might be an effective strategy.
