Jones Appeals Order to Stay Away from Mosque; Hater of Islam Says Order Violates Const. Rights

The Europe News website reports today (October 10, 2011) that a judge in a Detroit courtroom said on October 6 that he would decide next month whether it was within the power of authorities to have jailed Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones and to have ordered him to stay away from a local mosque for three years.

Jones -- a Gainesville, Florida pastor and hater of Islam -- was found guilty last April by a Dearborn, Michigan jury of being likely to breach the peace, because of his plans to protest outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn.

He was ordered to stay away from the mosque for three years.

Attorneys for Jones appealed the decision, saying it violated his constitutional rights.
