Florida, Craig Lowe, where the “Burn Koran Day” initiated by Pastor
Terry Jones from Dove World Outreach Centre is going to take place.
The dialogue consisted of:
1. Florida government has restricted Pastor Terry Jones from conducting
the occasion.

on the coming 11 September where thousands of people from various
religious groups and races are going to attend to stand for their
position against this “Burn Koran Day”.

First Amendment relating to freedom of speech, they could only give fine
if the Pastor is going to continue his plan.
After the talks, Damien Dematra has urged BBC to proceed facilitating
him speaking directly to Pastor Terry Jones. He said that he wanted
Terry Jones to be able to hear the consequences that could occur should
he keep continue doing his plan.
BBC has promised to continue putting their best effort to facilitate the
dialogue between Terry Jones from Dove Outreach Centre and Damien
Dematra from the Indonesian Pluralism Care Movement.
