Jones founded a church in Germany which then kicked him out

TERRY JONES this week became America’s most inconvenient public figure – who seems hell-bent on getting across his message to the world.

Jones’s plan to set ablaze thousands of copies of the Muslim holy book to mark September 11 became global news and a major flashpoint for religious tolerance.
