The Christian Post website reports today (April 23, 2011) that Terry Jones -- infamous for burning the Quran in Florida -- was jailed yesterday, thus preventing him from protesting in front of a mosque in Dearborn, Michigan as he had planned.
He and fellow preacher Wayne Sapp had refused to pay a $1 peace bond set by Judge Mark Somers, after a jury determined that his planned Good Friday protest would lead to violence.
The two were released hours later after paying the dollar.
Jones' demonstration was scheduled to take place yesterday evening in front of what he says is America's largest mosque -- the Islamic Center of America. He had announced that he -- along with a handful of others -- would be protesting against "jihad, sharia, and state radicalization of Moslems in America."
