After years of having the field all to himself, leader and gay-basher extraordinaire might finally have some competition for the title of America鈥檚 most media-hungry hate-church preacher.

On Sept. 11, Terry Jones鈥� Dove World Outreach Center will hold the first 鈥淚nternational Burn a Koran Day鈥� ceremony on the steps of his church in Gainesville, Fla. According to the church鈥檚 website, the event was organized 鈥渋n remembrance of the fallen victims of 9/11 and to stand against the evil of Islam. Islam is of the devil!鈥�

If you recognize Dove World, it鈥檚 likely from the media outcry (including heavy play on CNN) that met their placement of lawn signs earlier this month proclaiming just that: 鈥淚slam is of the Devil.鈥� We鈥檝e also written about it frequently on this blog ( and and ).

As of this writing, nearly 500 people have clicked 鈥渓ike鈥� on the event鈥檚 webpage, which also features Photoshop images premised on the nuking of Iran and Mecca. One of these shows Mecca鈥檚 Grand Mosque full of pilgrims, with the simple tag: 鈥淣uke It.鈥�

At least some of the page鈥檚 supporters seem to have learned much of what they know about Islam from Fox News鈥� and conspiracy mongering regarding the case of a conservative mole at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). A person who identified herself as Fran Ingram, for example, posted a video of Fox News鈥� coverage of the CAIR story with the title, 鈥淣o Moderate Muslims.鈥�

Like the stunts pulled by Phelps (who runs the infamous Godhatesf---.com website), 鈥淚nternational Burn a Koran Day鈥� seems designed to draw heavy fire from editorialists and television news crews. Jones, the Dove World Outreach leader, posts a semi-regular 鈥溾�� show on YouTube, and clearly revels in media attention. Dove鈥檚 website has collected all of the editorials and television news spots devoted to the lawn sign controversy. The list of links appears just below the description of the church as a 鈥淣ew Testament, Charismatic, Non-Denominational Church that believes in the whole Bible and that we are to act in response to the word of God in order to change the times we are living in.鈥�

Like the more famous Fred Phelps, one of whose rallies this year was joined by Dove congregants, Jones鈥� theology of hate is streaked with venomous homophobia. 鈥淲hat is homosexuality?鈥� Jones . 鈥淒etestable, indecent, wicked, offensive, perverted, shameful, unnatural, degrading, impure, futile, foolish, godless, dishonorable, a lie.鈥� On August 2, Jones and his church will be 鈥渟tanding against homosexuality鈥� in a protest in front of the local city hall.

With the announcement of his latest anti-Islam initiative, one gets that sense that Jones and his followers aren鈥檛 really satisfied with burning books. Like the old saying goes, it does not take a large leap of imagination to picture them gleefully burning much more besides.
