Won't fly here.

Opps... Too late. It already did.

Nearly one year to the day since his plan to host a protest in front of Dearborn's Islamic Center of America was thwarted, anti-Islamic pastor and Florida politician Terry Jones said he is coming back.

On April 22, Jones and Sapp were found "likely to breach the peace" by a jury in Dearborn after their planned protest brought them to the 19th District Court. In that decision, Dearborn Chief Judge Mark Somers ordered Jones and Sapp to pay a $1 peace bond each, and to stay away from the Islamic Center and adjacent area for three years. They refused, and were briefly jailed.

Let’s take this case on up the appeals process and see where it winds up.

Terry Jones’s Dearborn Protest Takes Place Without Incident

Quran-burning Pastor Jones used the Islamic Center as a backdrop to discuss what he says are signs of Sharia Law in Dearborn.

April 7, 2012

Last year, Jones and his associate Wayne Sapp were found “likely to breach the peace” by a jury in Dearborn after their planned protest on Good Friday brought them to the 19th District Court. In that decision, Dearborn Chief Judge Mark Somers ordered Jones and Sapp to pay a $1 peace bond each, and to stay away from the Islamic Center and adjacent area for three years. They refused, and were briefly jailed.

Jones and Sapp appealed the ruling, and a Detroit judge overturned the ban on Nov. 11.

On Monday, April 2, the Thomas More Law Center filed a lawsuit on behalf of Jones and Sapp, alleging that the city of Dearborn violated the two men’s free speech rights. The claim is based on the fact that the city has asked Jones to sign a “hold harmless” agreement releasing the city of any responsibility for damage to his property or personal injury during his protest.

A federal judge on Wednesday issued an order allowing Jones to proceed without the signed document, and asserting her belief that the city’s hold harmless agreement is unconstitutional.

Jones’s lawsuit will proceed to the courts, the Thomas More Law Center confirmed Thursday.
