“So, you are coming to protest against an imaginary threat that doesn’t exist in our community. Not in our courts, not at our City Hall, not on our streets and not in any of our places of worship. Our commitment to the Constitution is unwavering, not merely convenient, which makes your hyperbole about Sharia Law being practiced in the courts or civil law of Dearborn nonsensical.”–Jack O’Reilly Jr., Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan
While being interviewed by a local newspaper, motorist drove by calling so called christian Terry Jones a terrorist: “Get out of Dearborn, you terrorist!”
Also, after an interview at a local TV station, Jones ‘accidentally’ fired his gun while leaving the station.
Jones has appeared in court, defending ‘his’ church’s decision to protest in front of the largest mosque in the U.S.: “We’ll do it today at 5 or we’ll come back next week.”
The judge told Jones he needed to pay a bond to cover police protection costs, for his demonstration. Jones refused to pay.
Dearborn Muslims, along with Christians, and Jews, are celebrating Good Friday at the mosque.
