Jones' representative says they’re not looking for trouble, while both they and festival organizers are leaving order in the hands of Dearborn and Wayne County police.
Terry Jones, who hosted a rally at Dearborn City Hall
in April, will return this Friday to hold a protest in
conjunction with the start of the city's Arab
International Festival.
As the Arab International Festival kicks off this Friday, festival-goers will be joined by an unusual guest: Quran-burning Florida Pastor Terry Jones, who is planning a rally and march to coincide with the three-day festival’s start.
The annual Arab International Festival, hosted by Dearborn’s American Arab Chamber of Commerce, is one of the largest Arab-American social events in the country, attracting an estimated 300,000 people to a 12-block section of Dearborn’s Warren Avenue between Schaefer and Wyoming. It will take place June 17-19 and feature carnival rides, children’s activities and a slew of live entertainers.
