A wave of protest coming from all over the world and from within the country does not make Terry Jones dissuade fuel to keep doing the actions of al-Quran. In fact he did not heed calls military commander (United States) in Afghanistan who said his actions would endanger U.S. troops there.
Jones, founder of the sect Dove World Outreach Center, in the City of Gainesville, Florida, called his church as a place of worship a new covenant, charismatic and non-denominational. In front of the church lined up the boards that read "Islam of the Devil," which is also the title of a book he wrote.
Jones claimed to hear the complaints concerned the U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, David Petraeus, who are concerned about the safety of his men if the action was still waged. However, Jones remained stubborn will launch its action and said they would send a prayer for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
"We will continue to advance. We're actually very, very, very concerned, of course, and we respond to words of the commander seriously. We definitely will pray about it. We have defined our attitude and along with it, we're praying for them, "he said as quoted from the pages of Fox television stations.
Jones said if anything happens to American soldiers and other Americans due to the action, then he and his church and did not want to hand off responsibility.
"We will not be responsible, we're just reacting against the violence that already exist in the religion (Islam)," he said.
"It's time to rise, it's time to send the message hello to the Islamic radicals that we do not tolerate their actions," he continued.
Jones said that churches across America have supported the action, but he could not name the church.
Since he announced his plans to burn the Koran on September 11, the church has received a message that condemned and denounced the plan. Not only that, also received threats after threats by a former hotel manager who had served as a missionary in Europe for 30 years.
FBI agents also have been visited to discuss safety issues. Jones admitted receiving more than 100 threats were killed, since that moment he decided to carry 40-caliber pistol in his waistband.
Church, Dove Outreach Center, is a sect that separated from all Christian denominations. The church follows the Pentecostal tradition, which believes that the Holy Spirit can be manifest in modern times like now. Pentecostal adherents often claim the battle against the forces of Satan.
Views of the church led by Jones is not unlike a warehouse than a place of worship.Stone building with a large cross lights adorn the front of the building which stands on an area of 8000 m2. Jones and his wife, Sylvia lived in this place. This place is also a place of storage furniture that they sell on eBay buying and selling websites.
