DEARBORN – Terry Jones, the extremist pastor who has twice
visited Dearborn to protest against what he calls “shari’a” in
America, said he will visit again on June 17 regardless of whether the Arab
International Festival goes through as planned.  Jones, who supervised a Qur’an burning in March that was
widely condemned, said he will use one of Dearborn’s “free speech
zones,” which includes City Hall, as a possible site for more “street
preaching”  as he terms it if
the festival does not happen this year. 
Dearborn Mayor Jack O’Reilly has called Jones an “antagonist”
who is attempting to raise funds after his church congregation left him in
Gainesville, Florida; O’Reilly has also refuted “shari’a” myths.  Acts 17 Apologetics, a small group of
Christian missionaries who were arrested for “breaching the peace” at
last year’s event, also plans to return according to reports.
