Florida pastor vows return to protest after ban

DETROIT (Reuters) – The controversial Florida pastor banned from protesting near a Detroit-area mosque says he plans to return next week for a protest aimed at the court that found him to be a risk to public safety.

Terry Jones, 59, said he would return to Dearborn, Michigan on Thursday and lead a protest the following day, outside the courthouse in an area the city deems a "free speech zone."

"They have violated our civil rights. Our freedom of speech rights," Jones said on Saturday as he prepared to board a flight back to Florida.

"We are going to go after them with every single thing we can," he told reporters.

Jones and an associate, Wayne Sapp, 42, were both briefly jailed on Friday after a Dearborn jury found them to be threats to the peace. A judge imposed an order banning them from approaching Dearborn's Islamic Center of America for three years.

2. We should get him a ticket to Afghanistan so he can express himself fully to his best audience.

Location, location, location. And feedback. Crowd feedback is very important.

3. Its sad to see people waisting their freedom on speech

on something that in the long term means absolutely nothing. Is anyone going to remember Terry Jones the man who believed to be an agent of God? I highly doubt it.
