Fla. Pastor Terry Jones to Burn Qurans April 28; This Time to Protest Iran's Jailing of Nadarkhani

The Christian Post website reports today (April 27, 2012) that Florida pastor Terry Jones -- whose burning of the Quran last year resulted in violent reaction by Muslims -- has decided to burn the Quran again tomorrow (April 28) at 5 p.m. ET in front of his church, Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida.

This time, Jones plans to burn the Quran in protest of Iran's continued imprisonment of Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.

Jones and his organization are calling for supporters worldwide to burn copies of the Islamic holy book and images of the faith's founder, the prophet  Muhammad.

Jones -- who called the Islamic faith "a bully" -- said the service will be roughly an hour long, during which time he will speak on "the last 1,400 years of Islamic persecution of Christians, believers, nonbelievers, homosexuals, and women."
