In July 2010, Terry Jones, the pastor of the Christian Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, U.S., announced he would burn 200 Qurans on the 2010 anniversary of the September 11 attacks. He gained media coverage, resulting in international outrage over his plans and pleas from world leaders to cancel the event. Jones's threat sparked protests in the Middle East and Asia, in which at least 20 people were killed. In early September 2010, Jones cancelled and pledged never to burn a Quran.〔(Pastor Terry Jones: 'We will not burn the Quran' - US news - Security - msnbc.com ). MSNBC (2010-11-09). Retrieved on 2011-04-30.〕 Nevertheless, on March 20, 2011, Jones held a "trial of the Quran" in his Gainesville church. Finding the scriptures guilty of "crimes against humanity," the Quran was burned in the church sanctuary.〔(Gainesville's Dove World Outreach Center denied it is responsible for violence in Afghanistan over its burning of the Quran ), ''Gainesville.com'' (2011-04-01).

He attended college for two years, worked at a hotel, and joined the now defunct Maranatha Campus Ministries.〔 He moved to Cologne, Germany, where in 1981 he founded a charismatic church, the Christian Community of Cologne (CGK).〔 Jones received an honorary degree from an unaccredited theology school in 1983, and began using the title "Doctor." He was fined for this misuse of a credential title by a German administrative court.〔 By the late 2000s (decade), the CGK grew to have a membership of approximately 800–1000.〔 According to the German magazine, ''Der Spiegel'', the congregation kicked Jones out in 2008 due to the "climate of fear and control" that he employed, which included elements of "brainwashing" and telling congregants to beat their children with rods.〔 He was accused of improper use of church funds, and forcing congregants to labor for free.〔 A leader of the Cologne church said Jones did not "project the biblical values and Christianity, but always made himself the center of everything." Others accused him of being violent and fanatical. ''Deutsche Presse-Agentur'' reported that church members said Jones ran the Cologne church like a cult, using psychological pressure. Between 2001 and 2008, Jones served as the part-time pastor of the Gainesville, Florida church Dove World Outreach, frequently traveling back and forth between Germany and the United States.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Internet Archive Wayback Machine )〕 Jones assumed full-time duties at Dove World Outreach in 2008 after leaving the German church.〔 By September 2010, Dove World was said to have 50 members,〔 with about 30 members reportedly attending services.〔 In 2010 Jones published ''Islam Is of the Devil'', a polemic that claims Islam promotes violence, and that Muslims want to impose sharia law in the United States. After Jones announced the Quran burning, the German Evangelical Alliance denounced his theological statements and his craving for attention.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=German Evangelical Alliance distanced themselves from the burning of a Quran )〕 Following an invitation from the English Defence League, Jones considered attending a rally in Luton in the U.K. in February 2011 to share his views. The anti-fascist group Hope not Hate petitioned the Home Secretary to ban Jones from entering the country. In January 2011 the Home Secretary announced that Jones would be refused entry to the UK 'for the public good'. Jones' actions have prompted a religious group to place a $1.2 million bounty on his head; Hezbollah, a Lebanese political party and militant group, has announced a $2 million bounty.〔(Metro interfaith leaders to unite against Quran-burning pastor|Detroit Free Press ). freep.com (2011-04-20).

Jones contested that requirement, and the jury voted to require the posting of a $1 "peace bond", but Jones and his co-pastor Wayne Sapp continued to refuse to pay. They were held briefly in jail, while claiming violation of First Amendment rights. That night Jones was released by the court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Terry Jones goes free on $1 bond after jailing; judge bars him from mosque for 3 years | Detroit Free Press )〕 On November 11, 2011, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Robert Ziolkowski vacated the “breach of peace” ruling against Terry Jones and Wayne Sapp on the grounds that they were denied due process. Both men’s criminal records have since been expunged. On the evening of April 22, 2012, soon after he was interviewed at WJBK-TV, Jones' gun fired accidentally as he got into his car.〔(Pastor accidentally fires gun outside TV studio|Detroit Free Press ). freep.com (2011-04-23).

Muslim protesters lined Michigan Avenue across the street from City Hall. About an hour into the protest, the crowds broke the barricades and a police line. They rushed the street but were quickly contained by riot police crews. The crowd was throwing water bottles and shoes at supporters of Jones. Police worked to push the crowd back across Michigan Avenue. At least one arrest was made.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crowds Bust Barricades At Pastor's Speech In Dearborn | News - Home )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dove World Outreach Center Quran-burning controversy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
