Quran-burning pastor: Plan to visit Dearborn opposed
Source: Detroit Free Press

A group of Christian and Muslim leaders spoke out Monday in a Detroit church against the planned visit of Terry Jones, the Quran-burning pastor from Florida.

Jones told the Free Press last week that he's coming to Dearborn next month to protest outside the Islamic Center of America against Islamic law and rule.

The Rev. Charles Williams II, pastor of King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, said Monday that Jones is bringing "a message of hate" to Michigan.

"We don't need any outside agitators" disrupting good relations in metro Detroit among diverse religions, Williams said.

5. He needs to keep his ass away from Detroit
He will not be welcome here by anyone. Not whites, not blacks and certainly not the Arabs. If he comes to Detroit, he may just end up meeting his maker there. People here don't play around. After all, Detroit wasn't just given the moniker "Murder capitol of the world," it earned it.

6. Re: It's good to get a local take ...
... the guy may be looking for a boost of fame, even if by inciting an attack.

8. He'll be just fine in Detroit
This will be a circus, ten people from his alleged church, surrounded by reporters, sound crews, video crews, more than enough to ensure security.

And the counter-demonstrators will be kept separate from circus, with a bunch of cops separating the two groups.

There's enough open fields and parking lots in that area so law enforcement can easily keep an eye on everyone. I don't think there will be murder in this case.

:hi:

9. I wasn't talking about somone taking him out at an event
but if he strays into one bad neighborhood in the city proper, there's a better than 50% chance that he will be a victim of a random act of violence.

7. 40 years ago this guy would be attacking the jews but...
Edited on Tue Mar-29-11 07:32 AM by madrchsod
the christian right gave up publicly attacking the jews because the muslims are the new money makers.

funny thing is both the muslims,jews,and christians are all believers of 5 books of old testament
