DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan judge has ordered a Florida pastor to appear in court ahead of a protest scheduled for later this week outside a mosque in Dearborn.
Wayne County prosecutors say they fear the Rev. Terry Jones' appearance outside the Islamic Center of America on Friday could lead to violence.
Dearborn's 19th District Court Judge Mark W. Somers on Monday ordered Jones to appear Thursday to answer questions about the event. The Detroit News says prosecutors want Jones to post a "peace bond" to pay for additional police officers during the demonstration.
A burning of the Quran last month at Jones' small church in Gainesville, Fla., inflamed anti-Western sentiment in Afghanistan, inciting riots and an attack on a U.N. facility that killed seven staff workers.
