It looks like Dove World Outreach Center is in for some financial turmoil:
The controversial Florida pastor who threatened to burn Korans on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is expected to be billed at least $200,000 by the city of Gainesville for costs associated with the stunt.
Pastor Terry Jones, who got international attention with his on-again, off-again plan to burn 200 copies of Islam’s holiest book, said the costs would essentially bankrupt his 50-member church, the Dove World Outreach Center.
“That would be impossible for us to pay,” Jones said. “That would bankrupt us, of course.”
It will be interesting to see how some of Jones’ supporters on the right defend him now. Will they back Jones or the city of Gainesville? Talk about a wingnut dilemma!
