With the twin spires of the Islamic Center of America in the background, the Rev. Terry Jones praised Christianity and condemned Islam, calling it of the devil.
Mohammad was a liar, a pedophile and a false prophet, Jones said.
I believe that as a Christian. But as an American who believes in the constitution I believe they have the right to practice their beliefs under the freedom of religion.
Jones who is on his fourth trip to Dearborn to preach about the dangers of Islam and its agenda of imposing Sharia law on America also called for a worldwide burning of the Koran on April 28 if an imprisoned pastor in Iran isnt freed from a death sentence after converting from Islam to Christianity.
Im asking the imam of the Islamic Center here in Dearborn to work with me to free Minister Youcef, said Jones, of Youcef Nadarkhani, currently facing death for preaching Christianity in Iran.
If he isnt freed, I will ask the world to burn the Koran in protest starting at 5 p.m. on April 28th in Gainesville, Fla.
At least 30 of Jones supporters some of them openly carrying weapons on their belts as did Jones shouted an occasional amen or preach it as Jones spoke.
The controversial pastor denied accusations that he is a racist.
Not true, he said. Islam is a religion, not a race. I am not a racist.
Jones said that not all Muslims are radicals.
I believe the majority of the people who attend this mosque behind me believe in the constitution, Jones said.

Lazlo—Lazlo— Lazlo in PA How many honor killings—occur in the US? You believe the myth —if you believe “we will not put up with that BS.” That woman in Florida who was murdered -the press suggested she was killed because she was Muslim—what they ignored was it appears to have been a Muslim hit. An
honor killing. I suspect the Brits think -by listening to their media that they are safer there -than we are in America.
But that is just a swag.
Yeah, probably. Right here:
I believe the majority of the people who attend this mosque behind me believe in the constitution, Jones said.
Exactly, just as the Dimrats are with their political ideology and their worship of the earth and enviros, all mixed together in one entity. Evil, just plain evil.
Exactly. The problem I have with Rev. Jones is that when he had a unique opportunity he lost his nerve.
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Muslims need no incitement. They will find something to be offended about no matter how much you crawl to them. I have met individual non-Muslims that are the same way, but Islam is like a hot-house of the breed.
That being so, defiance to their sensibilities is the most logical and effective course.
Probably should be tried on Jackson and Sharpton, too.
Boy. You Romney pimps take every opportunity to push your guy and slam Rick. Even on threads that have absolutely nothing to do with the election. Your not going to sell me on Milt as hard as you try.
He’s got guts. It’s hard enough talking about muslims and their overall agenda(s) but quite another to preach about Jesus and what Islam is right inside the front lines. He didn’t say anything I didn’t disagree with.
Islam is human and spiritual bondage. It’s just not halel.
just how would you suggest we “compromise” with the war plan of Islam? how would you have compromised with Hitler?
Jones is taking it to the heart of Islam in America - right here in my sorry state of Michigan where the pols have given aid and comfort to the radical muslims for at least the past 50 years, but have really stepped it up in the last 20. How dare you or anyone question whether he cares about persecution of any Christian convert in Muslim lands? This is coming to a neighborhood near you right here in America due to the lack of speaking the true Gospel. Does Jones speak the Gospel anywhere in his message to the Muslims? Or is it just a warning that the Enemy is upon us? If it is just the latter, then Jones’ message is incomplete.
The only reason our troops suffer from the free exercise of speech in America is because of the inexcusable rules of engagement over there that put them at daily risk no matter what the provocation (if any) occurs.
“I believe the majority of the people who attend this mosque behind me believe in the constitution, Jones said.”
Well, Rev Jones, you’ve just bet your life on it.
Sure, and I am confident that there would be no terrorism if the U.S. and Israel did not incite the terrorists, right?
I am of the opinion that no matter what we do they will still consider us infidels to be defeated in a holy war. But sure, let’s regulate our behavior and speech to be sure we don’t offend their sensibilities on the off chance they will be nice to us.
Just a heads up.
Looks like The Westboro “Baptist” Morons are planning to protest at Eastern High School and then MSU on April 23rd. No idea why but its good to know ahead of time.
Thanks for the heads up grellis.
Is Eastern High School in East Lansing?
Yeah it looks like its on N Pennsylvania Ave.
I read about the upcoming Westboro visit as a snippet from a Lansing State Journal article, but now I can't find the reference. The visit is definitely on the Westboro roster, though. Still no idea why EHS is a target, but it's okay with me that I can't understand the rationale of that clown show.
Here’s a story about it. It doesn’t appear that anyone knows why they intend to picket but the 7 AM schedule sounds like they intend to harass students.
>> Boy. You Romney pimps take every opportunity to push your guy and slam Rick.
Take your innuendo and go pound sand. I’m a Newt supporter.
Exactly Dr. Jones . . . those were only a few of his endearing qualities!
“He will say anything to be relevant”
That may well be but he has a kind of Vincent Price thing happening.
