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.

'I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.'

. . . guess this only applies to liberals.

What the hell is going on in Detroit?

A promotion for people to move there or visit to increase the revenue flow.

This is what happens when people get pissed at a true leader of a country and tote a wanton attitude for CHANGE because of media bias!

They stand up for Westboro, they are attacking our soldiers.

They lock this guy up, He is taking it to the Muslims.

That’s the new Freedom of Speech.

This was nothing more than a kangaroo court.........so much for his (our) 1st amendment rights.

As a side note, since when does a seated judge have the right to call a trial for any individual wishing to hold a public rally?

Why is it free speech for the Westboro crowd but not for this guy?

Coming soon to a headline near you.

Rejection of Sharia Law "breaches peace and incites violence worldwide"
City Election Results Reversed by Court
"Elections matter too much," say pundits. "It's good that the courts show Muslims that we Americans accept their religion."

Jihad lite: the current state of American jurisprudence.

I don't know. It's baffling. I can't imagine what the matters of fact are for the jury to decide. How can a jury decide facts that haven't happened yet?

This never should have survived a motion to dismiss, which I'm assuming was filed.

Right to assemble peacefully?

Not in Obamaland.

What are they saying on the news?

I live here and all the broadcasts have been leaning towards him being a radical wishing to burn the Koran when in fact he has said from the outset that he merely wants to hold a prayer vigilance with the muslims praying for peace..........

The Dearborn police chief who testified that Jones would incite violence is a muslim and the same individual who supported the arrest of several Christians who attempted to proselytize (sp?) christianity outside of a public muslim festival this past summer.......the video of their harassment and arrest is on Youtube...........

unconstitutional prior restraint and actionable violation of civil rights under 18 USC 1983. This man is a hero. He is emerging as a leader for the Christian crusade.

So now it is illegal to do something that MIGHT upset a Muslim?

And he hasn’t even held the protest yet and he’s being arrested. Incredible.

Minority Report-ish, I'm thinking...

He is emerging as a leader for the Christian crusade.

I hope you're right......

As a side note, his prayer was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. today and the "trial" conveniently lasted well beyond the time for him to make his planned appearance.............

This is a travesty of justic and I hope a wake up call to all non muslims in this area...........

According to the article Jones was given the choice of judge or jury.
