FROM JANET LEVY- THE ARREST OF PASTOR TERRY JONES
In the United States of America, you can burn Bibles, stomp on the flag, display crucifixes in urine and throw cow dung at a picture of the Virgin Mary BUT you may NOT burn or desecrate the Koran – a book that tells Muslims to murder, rape, rob, plunder, defeat, etc., non-Muslims and establish a worldwide Islamic government under shariah – a misogynistic, supremacist, totalitarian, triumphalist, repressive doctrine.
If only there was a Constitutional amendment that protected free speech.

Florida officials have arrested radical anti-Islam preacher Terry Jones as he was on his way to a Sept. 11 event where he planned to burn 2,998 Korans, according to local news reports Wednesday.
Jones is best known for stoking Muslim anger by publicly desecrating the religion’s holy book, sometimes with international consequences.
This time law enforcement officials intervened before Jones could carry out his plans for a ceremonial Sept. 11 burning.
Jones had planned to set alight 2,998 Korans at a Polk County park for the 12-year anniversary, with each Koran “representing one of the victims, every person who was murdered by Islam,” according to one of his news releases — a casualty total that perhaps accidentally included the 19 hijackers.
County officials had reportedly denied Jones’ permit application to use the Loyce E. Harpe Park near Mulberry for the burning.
Before the event, which Jones had planned to attend anyway, the Gainesville-based preacher was reportedly arrested for driving with kerosene in a barbecue grill, officials told The Ledger, a Polk County newspaper. A local ABC affiliate reported that Jones had Korans inside the grill.
