Quran-burning church Moving to my town?

Quran-burning church wants to move to Fort Myers

GAINESVILLE, FL -
Terry Jones, the Gainesville pastor whose 30-member church made headlines by burning copies of the Quran, wants to move to Fort Myers.

A Christian school unaffiliated with Jones' Dove World Outreach Center is interested in the property, and if the deal goes through, Jones' operation would head south.

The pastor's son told The Gainesville Sun the housing collapse in the Fort Myers area means there are many available properties, and the church believes the larger population gives them access to a lot more potential members.

The younger Jones told the reporter they'd drop the "Dove World Outreach Center" name that they currently use, but continue the same work they have been doing.

These people sicken me, but having them in my town is going to be downright disgusting!

1. Oh bummer, there goes the neighborhood.
Friends of mine lived in Fort Myers and then moved over to Cape Coral. It's a nice area of Florida and it would be a shame if this grifter were to move in.

2. Well I'm glad they are moving out of Gainesville at least.
My parents live there and they were woefully embarassed by that clown's presence in the city. They actually went to protest them a couple of times.

Wish they would move out of Florida. Actually I wish they would move out of the United States and onto one of those libertarian Seastead hurricane platforms, and they can do whatever they want and no one would listen to them.
