He's not in the slightest bit dangerous. He's never killed anyone.

I see no indication that he would not be cool with an insurrection to drive the Moor out of Dearborn.

Pastor Terry Jones' rally becomes battle over free speech

With some of metro Detroit’s biggest political and religious leaders united behind Muslims in Dearborn, Florida Pastor Terry Jones is expected to appear in court this morning for a jury trial that will determine whether he can hold a rally at the largest mosque in the city.

This “bigot does not represent” us, Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, declared to a crowd of about 700 metro Detroiters at a rally that drew U.S. Rep. John Dingell, a Dearborn Democrat, and the local heads of the Catholic and Episcopal churches.

Qazwini’s mosque is where Jones wants to rally today against what he calls “the radical element in Islam.”

TJ is the newest incarnation of what I've started to call the Fred-Phelps-phenomenon... using religiously based whackery to get media attention and therefore influence & money. The best thing to do with clowns like this is to ignore them.

All some of them need is a charismatic leader.

Who would have thought that the Bohemian corporal could have inspired the Germans to do the horrendous things they did in his name?

Well, the little drongo has refused to post the security bond that the police wanted because of the increased threat of disorder that his presence in the city would cause, so they might just go on and resume their normal activities elsewhere. I hardly see why anyone should be bothered to defend him before the fact. Wasn't there some Supreme Court ruling that the police are not obligated to give specific protection to individuals?

He probably would, but that hardly means the Moor who runs the tire shop next to the protest site, or the Moor who is an accountant across the street from his protest site, need to pay the slightest attention to him.

He has a right to protest there. Nobody, no matter how insulted, has a right to physically hurt him -- or others -- because of that.

His real punishment should be an informal, ad hoc agreement among all news media to just ignore him and not give him the air time he so craves. "Freedom of speech" doesn't mean "Requirement to listen".

True, true, but then again -- when it comes for falling for charismatic mass murderers, the left is hardly on the innocent side (Che, Castro, Lenin, etc.).

True, but if that is a reason for a ban, one would ban every single ranter -- left or right. After all, just like one of them became a Hitler, another became a Stalin or a Che.

What Sharia law in Deerborn? Who's spreading this crap? Sharron Angle tried claiming the same thing, and the mayor - whose name, I should point out, is Jack O'Reilly - had to set her straight.

Michael Moor? I thought he was from a different part of Michigan. But I can see people wanting to drive him out.

He'd get a lot more fame if he travelled to Saudi Arabia to protest Sharia law. Or burned a Koran there.

The GM bailout gave workers more influence over GM policies and ensured the survival of a vital part of our manufacturing base.

What Duce Snyder is doing is handing the commons over to un-checked greed heads and disenfranchising and impoverishing working people.

Fascist drongo.

Actually, he is now a petty criminal. They can tell him to leave the state or face arrest for negligent discharge of a firearm and unlawful posession of a concealed weapon.

The boy should have all his firearms confiscated in Florida, too. I don't think that crap is legal there, either.

No charges are going to be filed. Where did you get "unlawful posession of a concealed weapon"? Did you make that up?

Doing a little more research, it may have been marginally legal for him to have had the gun, but not to have discharged it. He should not have gotten it back until he had been before a judge.

This will certainly reflect on whether he is allowed to stage his protest. He is clearly a threat to public safety, quite apart from being a ranting lunatic who attracts domestic terrorists to his side.
