Interesting. Apparently it's ok to burn bibles and the American flag but not the Quran. I am curious to what the unspecified charges would be. I think it would have been great to see him exercise his freedom of expression.

MULBERRY, Fla. – A Florida pastor has been arrested before he could set fire to almost 3,000 Qurans.

Polk County sheriff's officials say the Rev. Terry Jones and his associate pastor were arrested on unspecified felony charges in the small central Florida town of Mulberry on Wednesday. A news conference is scheduled for later Wednesday to announce specific charges.

Media reports show he was stopped in a pickup truck that was towing a metal trailer filled with Qurans soaked in kerosene. He had said he planned to burn 2,998 Qurans — one for every victim who died in the 9/11 attacks 12 years ago.

Jones is the pastor of a small evangelical Christian church. His congregation burned a Quran in March 2011 and last year he promoted an anti-Muslim film. His actions have sparked violence in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

I'm thinking he forgot to get a permit from the Fire Dept.

He's an asshole. Simply because someone has the right to freely speak or express their opinion doesn't mean they have the intelligence or judgment to exercise those rights with circumspection. Of course that applies to each and every post of your's which I've read too.

Did little o obama order Bin Laden killed or was he too dithered to give the order and just took credit for it later?

I'm thinking you don't need a permit from the fire department for driving on a road.

He might be an asshole, but it is not illegal to be an asshole.

By the way, since you are so big on not doing something just because it is legal, when the fuck are you going to stop positing drivel?

I wish humanity would give up religion.

Stands against personal freedom and liberty.

Republicans hoping for more Americans killed overseas they could blame on Obama. The more the better.

Don't worry. They'll think of something. If it's dirty, Republicans will think of it.

Fla. pastor Terry Jones arrested before he could burn Qurans | US National Headlines | Comcast

Polk County sheriff’s deputies arrested Pastor Terry Jones, 61, and his associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr., 34, on felony charges as he drove a pickup truck towing a large barbecue-style grill filled with Qurans soaked in kerosene. He had said he was heading to a nearby park to burn 2,998 Qurans — one for every victim of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Sheriff’s officials said they would hold a news conference later Wednesday to discuss specific charges.

Interested on what charges they have made against him ??????????????????

What does that have to do with your asinine comment that he didn't have a fire permit?

 

[ScienceRocks]

How isn't this freedom of speech? Oh'shit it is only protected when it supports Marxist and religious extremism.

You leftist are fools.

Burning a Koran is like a crucifix in a jar of urine....art.
