Quran-burning Pastor Rallies Outside High School in Dearborn

Posted on 11 October 2012 by Emperor

Serial harasser of Muslims, loon pastor Terry Jones is up to his old antics. He is rallying outside of a high school now.:

Quran-burning pastor rallies outside high school in Dearborn

Speaking today outside a high school in Dearborn, Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones said he was there in a show of solidarity with non-Muslim students that he alleges are being bullied by Muslim students. It was Jones’ fourth rally against Islam in Dearborn over the past year.

School officials have dismissed Jones’ claims about Edsel Ford High School in Dearborn. But Jones — joined by about a dozen supporters with anti-Islam signs – said the bullying reflects the way Muslims act when they grow in numbers. Jones said he was contacted by several parents of students at the high school, which has a growing Muslim population.

“As long as the community is small, they don’t cause any trouble,” Jones said about Muslims amid a heavy police presence outside Edsel Ford. “As the Muslim community grows … their intolerance of other communities grows.”

I was particularly glad that the U.S. Pastor Jones was turned back from the Canadian border; although the Muslim Imam Steve Rockwell was ready to debate him. What reminded more about the issue of Quran burning is the famous quote that was also written to reflect the burning of the Quran during the Spanish Inquisition by the famous German romantic poet, journalist, essayist Heinrich Heine (1797-1856). In 1933 his works were also among the many burned on Berlin’s Opernplatz. Significant in his famous quote from the play Almansor from 1821 (Arabic word) engraved “”Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen.” (“Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too.”). In the play, this is a reference to the burning of the Quran during the Spanish Inquisition in an effort to eradicate the Muslims and their presence of 800 years from the Iberian Peninsula, which was once an integral part of Spain. The Spanish Inquisition successfully expelled and forcibly converted millions of Spanish Muslims back to Catholicism; although the legacy still stands to remind us of this event in history.

If 60 million right wing christians can’t get the 10 commandments hung inside a courthouse the possibility of 6 million muslims enacting sharia is nil….islamaphobes know this but its the fear that attracts supporters to the cause….the real reasoon islamaphobe financial backers david horowitz…ted chernin….david yarushalem and koch brothers offer millions to the movement is simple…israel….its their new god….they do not want to see muslims in europe and america registering to vote and getting involved in the political process…..muslim populations in france and germany kept these two countries out of the illegal iraq war 2003….and in the future could do it again…hence their hatred for muslims..they would rather see muslims in the west embrace the tri-god of christianity and support israel

Nope. He was harrassed by Canadian border guards yesterday. They’re the real menace to society.

@scrooge: “this is what happens when you drink blood and eat flesh of a dead god.” Yup, nothing like countering bigotry with more bigotry.

From the article: “School officials have dismissed Jones’ claims about Edsel Ford High School in Dearborn.” The reporter thinks we should be shocked by negative claims about something named Edsel? Someone obviously lives in denial.

Lol he went to my old high school! Thats hilarious If he thought those kids were “religious extremists”. These kids are to preoccupied with marijuana, girls, and skipping class. The sad thing is that they will be the first ones to become violent when “defending” Islam. And I believe Jones and his handlers knew that going into this. Glad it failed, for Jones’ sake. I know most of these bonehead kids, they are young, ignorant, and full of energy. Not all of them are boneheads and not all of them have bad intentions. but I know a few that could have caused some serious trouble.

Canada should pop bottles that rancid bigots like this can’t get anywhere near the air they breathe.

I would not be surprised if this man turns out to be a pedophile. All he does is ‘rally’ where there are conveniently lots of children around; he goes to fairs, he goes to fun fests, and has stood by playgrounds, and now he’s actually going to a school. This man will be filming the children, unless we now live in a reality where grown adults go to school; it’s a certainty that he will be filming children.

He could have gone to a university, a concert hall, a mall, anywhere where there are actual adults – he chooses to go to a school.

And nobody is putting these pieces together? The man is obsessed with pedophilia and violence that’s all he ever spews, and now he’s actually going to a school. This wouldn’t be the first time a ‘pastor’ abuses children and was caught for pedophilia; but it seems this ‘pastor’ is a very tactful one. Who knows just what he will be doing with the footage he collects at this school.

If you are a parent, please tell me you’d want or be okay with a grown man of whom you have never met – actually filming your child. There is something sick here. This man just focuses his perversions in a way that can fool people. I hope people in that area and every other state draw the ethical line because this is crossing it – period.

@Plume, thanks for the tip.

he was denied entry to Canada today.
Awwaaba

I just love how bullies point fingers at others and accuse of bullying (especially without a shred of evidence). I was bullied at a Catholic school (I was one of the VERY few Muslims there) but even I don’t generalise and hate on Catholics. Nor do I go around spreading bile about how Catholics supposedly become intolerant when they’re together. Try looking in a mirror, Pastor Jones.

May I ask what evidence he has about this alleged harrassment?? He looks like a stereotypical old southern codger-I can almost hear him ranting about those “uppity mooosssllliims”
