Pastor Terry Jones: 'Koran-Burning BBQ Plans'

Terry Jones is arrested with thousands of kerosene-soaked Korans in a barbecue grill on the anniversary of 9/11.

新闻背景：

美国佛罗里达州61岁的牧师特里·琼斯和他的助理牧师34岁的马文 萨普11日开着小型敞篷车，车上装有2998本浇过煤油的《古兰经》，准备去附近的公园焚烧。

琼斯是一个小福音派基督教堂的牧师，以公开亵渎伊斯兰教经书而出名。他2010年9月11日计划焚烧古兰经首次引起人们关注，他最后取消了计划。2011年3月，他的信徒焚烧穆斯林圣书，2012年，他又极力推销反穆斯林电影。这三起事件均引起中东和阿富汗地区的暴力抗议。其中，最严重的暴力抗议发生在2011年阿富汗北部城市马扎里沙里夫，为抗议焚经行为，数百人冲击了联合国驻当地办事处，造成4名尼泊尔警卫在内的7名外国人死亡。

美国军方屡次要求他不要抗议，但琼斯反复不听。军方官员称他的行为让阿富汗和其他地区的美国人和西方军队面临危险。埃及法院曾因侮辱伊斯兰教的电影判处琼斯等人死刑，这起裁决很大程度上只具象征意义，因为被告均不生活在埃及。

As you know,Terry Jones has made it abundantly clear that he intended to come to PaulCounty and express his First Amendment rights by burning Korans. He then toldour detectives that he was going to come to the park without a permit, and thathe was going to burn the Korans on the park property. We explained clearly tohim that it was a violation of law, we not only told him he had a FirstAmendment right to free speech, we encouraged him to come to that park if hewant to make any statements that he wanted. But he was not going to come toPaul County and violate the law. When Terry got out of the car, he was openlycarrying a firearm, which is a violation of law. He does have a concealedfirearm’s permit, but he was openly carrying the firearm and that was observedby several deputies.
