According to a police report, a caller said a man, later identified as McDonald, had approached her and asked if she knew "this" -- referring to St. James -- was a Black church. The caller said the man, who was shirtless and wearing one yellow glove, said he was going to burn "this sucker down" and approached the church with a blanket filled with smoldering mulch and small shrubs.

McDonald was arrested and officers found a shirt and one yellow glove on the roof of the Circle K store. A matching yellow glove was found in the pile of burning material. Officers also found a plastic bag containing psilocybin mushrooms on the roof, according to the report.

In perhaps the most unexpected metal-related news of the day or any other day for that matter, a man wearing a shirt with 'GOD' written in large letters across the front of it has tried to burn down The Satanic Temple! His brazen blazing attempt to invert the church burning practices of '90s black metal, thankfully failed, but he did make it far enough to get himself arrested!

I wanted our most pop-structured song on the album to have the most outlandish lyrics. That was the intention. It's not literally about burning churches, although we do play with that imagery. It's about you know, being out with the old in with the new. Sometimes rebuilding something requires something else to burn down.

Nevertheless, on March 20, 2011, Jones held a "trial of the Quran" in his Gainesville church. Finding the scriptures guilty of "crimes against humanity", the Quran was burned in the church sanctuary.[2] Protesters in the northern Afghanistan city of Mazar-i-Sharif and elsewhere attacked the United Nations Assistance Mission, killing at least 30 people, including at least seven United Nations workers, and injuring at least 150 people.[3][4] The killing of two US soldiers by an Afghan policeman on April 4, 2011, was attributed to anger over the burning of the Quran.[5] American news analysts criticized and blamed Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan, for drawing attention to the Quran burning.[6]

Dove World Outreach Center, where the Quran burning was to occur, is a small congregation in Gainesville, with approximately 50 members. The church, led by pastor Terry Jones and his wife, Sylvia, first gained media attention in the late 2000s (decade) for its anti-Islamic and anti-homosexual messages. In 2009, Dove World posted a sign on its lawn which stated in large red letters "Islam is of the Devil".[31] Several members of the church also sent their children to their first day of school in August 2009 wearing t-shirts with "Islam is of the Devil" printed on the back.[32]

The proposal to burn Qurans began with a series of Twitter messages on July 12,[33] and a related discussion on the now-removed Facebook group "Islam is of the Devil", named after Terry Jones' book. Jones invited Christians to burn the Muslim holy book to remember all 9/11 victims. It was to be held from 6 p.m. to 9 pm.[34] The idea initially had little support and considerable opposition, but Religion News Service ran a story describing Jones' claim that he had received Qurans to burn. CAIR refused to respond, but other religious organizations did. On July 25 Jones posted a YouTube video in which he held up a Quran and said "This is the book that is responsible for 9/11. No, to me it looks like the religion of the devil" which garnered substantial media attention. On August 3, Gainesville mayor Craig Lowe asked the world's media to ignore Jones' church as a "tiny fringe group and an embarrassment to our community", but coverage continued to increase.[35] In early August, Sunni scholars at al-Azhar University in Cairo issued a statement warning of "dangerous consequences" if Qurans were burned.[33] U.S. President Obama condemned the plan saying it would endanger the lives of U.S. troops abroad.[33] American Muslims responded by saying they would celebrate September 11, 2010, as 'love Jesus day' emphasizing the fact that Jesus is believed to be a messenger of God in Islam. Other groups asked people to celebrate Read the Quran day as a means to international understanding.

A Gainesville Interfaith Forum which was established in November 2009 in response to earlier anti-Islam activities of the church requested for the declaration of September 11 as "Interfaith Solidarity Day", a request that was honored by mayor Craig Lowe.[36] The Forum scheduled a "Gathering for Peace, Understanding and Hope" at Trinity United Methodist Church on the day before the planned burning.[37] Mayor Lowe referred to Dove World as a "tiny fringe group and an embarrassment to our community".[38] Twenty local religious leaders gathered Thursday, September 2, 2010, to call for citizens to rally around Muslims "in a time when so much venom is directed toward them."[39]

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "It's regrettable that a pastor in Gainesville, Florida with a church of no more than fifty people can make this outrageous and distressful, disgraceful plan and get, you know, the world's attention." She also said, "It doesn't in any way represent America or Americans or American government or American religious or political leadership," and she emphasized the hope of the U.S. Government that the church would not go through with their plans.[46] US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates called Pastor Jones asking him not to go through with his Quran burning.[47] The US embassy in Kabul issued a statement condemning the plans.[13] Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, criticized the plans stating "any type of activity like that that puts our troops in harm's way would be a concern to this administration."[13]

Protests in Kashmir escalated over several days, as Quran demonstrations quickly turned into separatist protests against the Indian government in the Muslim-majority province. On September 13, protesters defied a military-imposed curfew, setting fire to a Christian missionary school and government buildings. At least 13 people were shot dead by police, and one policeman was killed by a thrown rock; at least 113 policemen and 45 protesters were wounded.[76][77] On September 12, a church was burned and a curfew instituted in Punjab.[78] Violence also spread into Poonch in the Jammu division, with three protesters shot by police. Protesters burned several government offices and vehicles.[79] Police prevented the burning of a Christian school in Poonch, and another in Mendhar the next day, in clashes leaving four protesters killed, 19 wounded, but dozens of government offices, a police station, and eight vehicles were burned.[80] As of September 16, the Hindustan Times placed the death toll at 90, blaming much of the resentment on the indefinite military curfew, the first in ten years to affect the entire Kashmir Valley.[81][82]

United States. President Barack Obama said "I just want [Jones] to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women in uniform who are in Iraq, who are in Afghanistan."[100] He also said that the planned event was being used as an al-Qaeda recruitment tool,[101] and urged that the Quran burning be cancelled because it violated U.S. principles of religious tolerance. The president also expressed frustration that under the law, nothing could be done other than citing the church under a local ordinance for public burnings.[101]

The Gainesville fire department refused to grant the church a burning permit;[106] regardless, the church planned to proceed with the event despite the potential fine.[107] Following the July 2010 announcement of the Quran burning, the bank holding a $140,000 mortgage loan on the church property, demanded immediate repayment of the balance, and the property insurance was canceled.[108] A lighted sign and an acrylic cross on the property were damaged by rocks.[109] On September 8, 2010, Rackspace, the provider of web hosting service to the Dove World Outreach website, disconnected the site, citing a violation of their terms of use policy.[110] A spokesman for Rackspace told news media that the shutdown was not "a constitutional issue," it was "a contract issue."[111] 2ff7e9595c
