| Subject: Ridiculous: Qur'an-burning pastor denied entry to Canada Fri Oct 12, 2012 1:26 am | |
| A controversial American pastor whose congregation burned the Qur'an was denied entry to Canada hours before he was scheduled to appear in Toronto.
Terry Jones was held at the Michigan-Ontario border for four hours before being turned back.
“They searched our car, searched our luggage, tore it apart,” said Jones in a video posted on The Windsor Star website. “They called in the dogs to check for, I guess, drugs and other things.”
Jones was slated to appear at an event on the lawn of Queen's Park in Toronto on Thursday, to discuss the film "The Innocence of Muslims."
The film has been accused of inciting hate against the Muslim community and has resulted in violent protests across the Middle East.
“We think we have a very important message,” Jones was recorded saying, before the camera was turned off.
