It's been almost a month since the Reverend Terry Jones made the news by burning the Koran, which gave the Taliban and disgruntled Afghans an opportunity to protest and kill innocent people. A month is a long time when you are addicted to being in the news. So, now he plans to rally his troops outside what is the largest mosque in the U.S. (Incidentally, there was a mysterious fire there on April 1.)
He seems to have a need to be considered a macho man; he's a peaceful guy but does carry a gun. And, naturally, he is only protesting against radical Muslims, not all Muslims. I wonder what the ratio of radical and non-radical Muslims in America is, particularly at the mosque at which he will be protesting.
Detroit is trying to prevent Jones from protesting at the Mosque itself. Authorities want him to use "free speech zones" which the city has established and which Jones - and I - think are unconstitutional.
I think the residents should take the matter into their own hands as they did in Oklahoma and Kansas.

In Britain there are 'hate laws' that prevent people like Jones and his ilk from doing what they do. Why do Americans consider that is wrong?
