Terry Jones burns another Koran

The pentagon urged him not to and the fire department fined him $271 because he did not have the “required authorization to burn books”.

The big questions are: how much does a permit from the Gainesville Fire Rescue to burn books cost, how many do they issue per year, does the permit include permission to burn Korans and once the fell deed was accomplished did the fire department treat the ashes with the respect they deserve or did they fail to flush them down the toilet? And would they have issued a $271 fine to an atheist burning a Bible?

From here:

About 20 people gathered for the ceremony outside the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., during which Jones demanded the release of Youcef Nadarkhani, an Iranian pastor, currently in jail for apostasy after converting from Islam to Christianity.

Moments after the burning, the Gainesville Fire Rescue issued a citation against the church, claiming it did not have the required authorization to burn books.

The church will be fined $271, including court costs, fire chief Gene Prince told the newspaper.

Based on the principle that no-one committing a crime should be exonerated simply because they have been provoked, the police are under fire for telling women not to dress like sluts if they don’t want to be raped.

Based on the principle that no-one committing a crime should be exonerated simply because they have been provoked – unless they are Muslims, that is – Terry Jones is responsible for the murder of 20 Afghans.

 

Pastor Terry– I almost burned a Koran – Jones banned from UK

From here:

Mr Jones had been originally invited by the English Defence League to attend a Feb 5 rally in Luton, Bedfordshire against the presence of Islam in Britain, but that invitation was withdraw.

Another group, England Is Ours, said on its website that it had invited the pastor to speak at a “series of demonstrations against the expansion of Islam and the construction of Mosques here in the UK” in the second week of February.

A Home Office spokesman said: “The Government opposes extremism in all its forms which is why we have excluded Pastor Terry Jones from the UK.”

In a statement, Mr Jones said: “This ban exemplifies the sabotage of the basic human rights of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. The ban also proves the effectiveness of the threat of militant Islam in the UK as one is not free to travel to the UK due to the speculation of violence.”

A member of his staff at the Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, Florida, US, said a letter from the Home Office had been received by courier on Wednesday informing Mr Jones of the ban. She said the letter mentioned the risk of “disruption”.

Why was Jones actually banned from entering the UK? Because the UK – home of rabid Islamist Anjem Choudary – “opposes extremism in all its forms”? Hardly.

The answer in in the last sentence: craven poltroonery.

Here are some charming examples of how effective the government is in opposing extremism in all its forms when it happens to be Islamic extremism:
