Terry Jones denied protest permit in Michigan
From The Detroit News
Dearborn denied a permit Wednesday for Quran-burning Pastor Terry Jones’ planned protest outside the Islamic Center of America on Good Friday.
Jones could be arrested if he goes ahead with the protest outside the mosque without a permit, said city spokeswoman Mary Laundroche. She added that the permit had been denied for “public safety reasons.”
Jones said he had not received notification that the permit had been turned down but that he was undeterred.
Jones is due in 19th District Court in Dearborn on Thursday to answer prosecutors’ claims that his demonstration could cause a riot and demands he post a “peace bond” to cover police costs.
Dearborn, a satellite city outside of Detroit, has a relatively high Muslim population and is no stranger to intolerance because of it. Remember the army vet found with M-80s outside the same Islamic center?
