Florida Pastor Arrested For Blasphemy Planning To Burn 2,998 Korans…

If only there was a Constitutional amendment that protected free speech.

Via LA Times:


Florida officials have arrested radical anti-Islam preacher Terry Jones as he was on his way to a Sept. 11 event where he planned to burn 2,998 Korans, according to local news reports Wednesday.

Jones is best known for stoking Muslim anger by publicly desecrating the religion’s holy book, sometimes with international consequences.

This time law enforcement officials intervened before Jones could carry out his plans for a ceremonial Sept. 11 burning.

Jones had planned to set alight 2,998 Korans at a Polk County park for the 12-year anniversary, with each Koran “representing one of the victims, every person who was murdered by Islam,” according to one of his news releases — a casualty total that perhaps accidentally included the 19 hijackers.

County officials had reportedly denied Jones’ permit application to use the Loyce E. Harpe Park near Mulberry for the burning.

Before the event, which Jones had planned to attend anyway, the Gainesville-based preacher was reportedly arrested for driving with kerosene in a barbecue grill, officials told The Ledger, a Polk County newspaper. A local ABC affiliate reported that Jones had Korans inside the grill.

Three Yale Students Arrested for Burning American Flag

Published April 05, 2007

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Three Yale University students were arrested and charged with arson and other offenses after they allegedly set fire to an American flag hanging from the porch of a New Haven neighborhood home.

The three were arrested early Tuesday after officers on patrol spotted the burning flag and tore it from the pole where it was mounted to the house on Chapel Street, police said.

Said Hyder Akbar, 23, Nikolaos Angelopoulos, 19, and Farhad Anklesaria, also 19, were arrested.
Marc Suraci, 37, owner of the two-story house on Chapel Street where the flag was burned, said he always puts flags out in front of his rental properties and said several of his relatives fought in American wars to defend the constitutional right to burn the flag as a protest.

"It makes me sick to my stomach to think that someone would burn the American flag," Suraci, who believes flag burning should be illegal, told the New Haven Register. "But it gets to another level when it is somebody else's flag on their own personal property."

Freshmen Angelopoulos and Anklesaria are both foreign citizens; Anklesaria is British and Angelopoulos is Greek. Akbar, a senior, was born in Pakistan, according to police, but is a U.S. citizen. Both Anklesaria and Angelopoulos had to turn over their passports.

Akbar worked as an informal translator for U.S. forces during the invasion of Afghanistan and later published a memoir, "Come Back to Afghanistan," based on his experiences there, the Yale Daily News reported Wednesday.

"He's an incredibly articulate, mature, sweet, smart guy," said Gillian Blake, Akbar's editor. "It's an amazing book."

Akbar — whose father was a spokesman for the Afghan president and served as governor — also testified at the trial of David Passaro, a former CIA contractor charged in the death of an Afghan citizen in U.S. custody.

Akbar said in 2004 he walked out of the interrogation in disgust after the contractor began threatening the prisoner, but that he said he saw no abuse. He testified that Passaro was "full of rage" during the interrogation.

Passaro, a former Hartford police officer, was the first American civilian charged with mistreating a detainee during the wars prompted by the Sept. 11 attacks.

He was sentenced in February to nearly 8 1/2 years in prison for beating a man in Afghanistan who later died.

At their arraignment in Superior Court a few hours after their arrests Tuesday, bond was kept at $25,000 for Angelopoulos and Akbar, but was reduced to $15,000 for Anklesaria.

The students appeared dazed at their arraignment Tuesday morning when they entered Superior Court in leg irons and handcuffs, reported The New Haven Register. They remained jailed Tuesday night but were later released on bond.

None have criminal records, Deputy Assistant Public Defender Sanford Bruce Wednesday.

"All three of these gentlemen are clearly happy to be in the United States and happy to be attending Yale," Bruce said.

He declined to discuss a possible motive for the alleged incident, but he challenged the arson charge.

The three are being charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, breach of peace, criminal mischief in the third-degree, arson in the second-degree, conspiracy for arson, conspiracy for breach of peace, conspiracy for mischief and conspiracy for reckless endangerment. They were not charged with flag burning.

Some charges were added by Assistant State's Attorney Karen Roberg after the three were arrested and charged by New Haven police. She substituted the arson charges for reckless burning.

Police said the students had two encounters with officers.

Officers Stephanija Van Wilgen and Diane Gonzalez were responding to an unrelated call in New Haven at about 3 a.m. and were flagged down by the students, who asked for directions.

A short time later, the two officers returned to Chapel Street to see if the students had found their way home and spotted the burning flag.

"There was a glow in front of the house which they identified as a flag mounted on a pole to the house and it was engulfed in flames," police spokeswoman Bonnie Posick said.

Van Wilgen pulled down the burning flag to prevent the fire from spreading, and Gonzalez tracked down the young men.

"People could have been hurt," Posick said, noting the flag was attached to the house. "They even admitted it was a stupid thing to do."

The police report says one of the officers woke up the residents on the first and second floors of the house to tell them about the incident. The people living there are not the homeowners, however, and likely are renters.

The police report does not indicate whether or not alcohol was involved in the incident, but the students were not given sobriety tests.

Sorry for the wait. I just didn't want to waste my 100th post in here.

The point... and it's not like one of your threads to have an actual point to it... that I was making was that people do get arrested for burning flags rather than given police escorts and medals. It was obvious but I thought I'd mention it as I was on 98 posts.

 

[subdued_passion]

Can someone tell me what were the charges levied? I get a feeling it wasn't 'intent to burn the Quran'.


Police here are allowed to arrest and detain individuals whose actions are intended to incite violence and rioting. Why do I get the feeling that your country probably has something similar.

[Busybody]

they FOLLOWED him and came up with bo gas charges

Sheriff's deputies in Polk County, Fla., arrested Pastor Terry Jones, 61, and his associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr., 44, each on a felony charge of unlawful conveyance of fuel. Jones had said he was heading to a nearby park in Mulberry to burn the Qurans on Wednesday, the 12th anniversary of the attacks. Sheriff's officials said that Jones was also charged with unlawful open-carry of a firearm, a misdemeanor, and that Sapp faces a charge of having no valid registration for the trailer

 

[Busybody]

Just last week, a federal judge in Michigan issued a summary judgment in favor of Jones and his organization, Stand Up America Now, against the city of Dearborn for requiring Jones and his organization to sign a city-issued agreement in order to speak on public property in front of a Dearborn mosque in 2012.

They were arrested for destroying property. Your original piece says he was arrested for driving with a kerosene loaded barbecue? I assume that's illegal somehow, it certainly seems a bit stupid.

I'll try and be concise.

He burns Korans, some Muslims wave their arms about and get upset.

Some Muslims burns US flags, some Americans wave their arms about and get upset.

if everybody stopped burning each others stuff then more people would be happy.

We have similar laws which many of us feel to be unconstitutional because in protecting free speech, it is implied that it is objectionable speech (to some), for if it were not, it would not need protection.

You have to choose to be offended.

Our leaders will force us to stop offending them while feeling powerless to say anything against them lest they violate their own self-imposed code of tolerance and diversity while on the other hand, their leaders cheer them on and hold them to be paragon while screaming at our cowed leadership to be more tolerant of their diversity and stop the offenses against them, which they are more than happy to do; let the circle be unbroken, by and by dear Allah, by and by...

You have to choose to be offended.

We have certain fundamental rights and each right has a responsibility that goes with it. So we have freedom of speech but you must be responsible about what you choose to say. Hence slander becomes an offence (because you haven't been responsible with your free speech)... as do hate speeches.

Hate speeches in fact violate a couple of other laws too.
