American hate preacher Terry Jones -- a Koran burner and a supporter of the anti-Islam video "Innocence of Muslims" -- is banned from traveling to Germany, the Europe News website reports today (September 18, 2012).
A spokesman for the German Interior Ministry said that a visit by Jones would "run counter to the interest of maintaining public order."
The ban came in response to information that German far-right groups -- such as Pro Deutschland and Pro NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) -- planned to invite the radical American preacher to Germany in the coming days.
Sources said that German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle believes "hate preachers have no business being in Germany."
