Jones elicits response from counter-protestors
DEARBORN — Qur'an-burning Pastor Terry Jones finally got to protest here Friday and although the violence predicted by several government officials never materialized, there were moments when a full-on riot looked imminent.
Jones and his assistant Wayne Sapp took turns for about an hour at the top step of City Hall, addressing a hundred or so supporters and as many as 500 counter-demonstrators that showed up.
Speaking through a muffled public address system that was often drowned out by the chants of counter-demonstrators, car horns and a low-flying Michigan State Police helicopter, the men preached their message of the U.S. Constitution over Shari'a, or Islamic, law.
Much of their speeches had a Crusades vibe to it, with both men interspersing words of the Gospel with grave warnings about spreading radical Islam in Europe and the danger of it happening in the Unit
