The Evangelical Alliance today (January 20, 2011) welcomed the Home Office's decision to ban Pastor Terry Jones -- who threatened to lead a protest to burn the Koran on 9/11 last year -- from entering Britain on the grounds that the Government "opposes extremism in all its forms."
Explaining the reason for the ban, 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."
Pastor Jones had been scheduled to speak against Islam at an "England Is Ours" rally in Bletchley next month, according to the Christian Today website.
He said he plans to appeal against the ban, and vowed that he would not do anything against the law if he were to visit Britain.
