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.

“Those FReepers on this thread getting outraged about this need to take a minute and think about how many hundreds of ways there are to send the message that Islam is flase that dont involve desecrating a book in front of people who believe its holy.”
Sorry, what Jones wants to say does not need the permission of anyone, FReeper or anyone else, to speak his mind.
“In essence, this is like saying that PETA folks who throw pigs blood on furriers are out of line; its not like saying PETA cant have a billboard or form picket lines.”
Your great mastery logic and fact seem to have failed you. PETA paint throwers are destroying private property. Jones will speak on private property, not destroying private property.
What you seem unwilling to either comprehend or refuse to admit is the simple fact that Dearbornistan has a Constitutional requirement to protect Free Speech. Whether the frequent Moslim prayers demanding the Moslim to kill all non-Moslims OR Jones’ talk about Islam - both are to be protected.
Dearbornistan will pay ederly for this debacle of their own making.
Why do you have this seeming difficulty with the Dearbornistan authorities being required to protect Jones, even if it means suppressing Moslim violence?
Your About Page indicates you are from Illinois. From your attempts to obfuscate the Constitutional violations Dearbornistan subjected Jones to, may I assume you are a Democrat and live in Chicago? Might you be a Moslim?
Erratum: Line 5 of post 161 is:
Jones will speak on private property, not destroying private property.
Corrected reads:
Jones will speak on public property, not destroying private property.
Sorry.
My, that's an awfully big ego you've got there. Disagreeing with you does not make one a heathen enemy of freedom. Get over yourself. I'll attend to the remainder of your condescending bilge in the AM.
