A congregation has created an uproar over a sign about Islam, and they don't plan to stop there.
TV20's Jamel Lanee talked with the church's pastor, who says he is trying to spread a message of love.
The Dove World Outreach Center has received a lot of reaction from the community for posting a sign that reads "ISLAM IS OF THE DEVIL".
The center, which has been around for almost 25 years, is actually very involved in the community. The center has offered free meals, clothes and furniture to those in need.
Dr. Terry Jones, who has been with the congregation since 2001, says he has gained many supporters.
However, non-supporters say he's expressing bigotry and hate.
City's code enforcement tells Dr. Jones that he can keep his sign, but he must make it smaller and move it closer to the ground.
The church has until next Monday to make the sign smaller, and Jones plans to add more signs about same-sex marriage and abortion.

The kind of out reach they are preaching is simply outrageous.
Second, where is this false, now, saying Islam is of the Devil is a Christian perspective, but, Islam is most definitely not a loving faith.
Dhimmi Laws, would make me as a non-Muslim, a second class citizen, and my houses of worship, not even worth maintaining, in fact, maintaining them would be illegal.
Muslims have for as long as they have been in existence, treated "People of the Book", as lesser citizens.
Stop trying to be so darn tolerant, so pacifistic,
being a Christ Follower, does not mean being a doormat.
According to my faith, Islam is WRONG, homosexuality is WRONG, abortion is WRONG.. Stop being too polite to express your beliefs.
I have met many peaceful Muslims and many violent Christians.
Only God knows which is the correct religion and she isn't saying.
The Crusades you refer to were waged by much of Latin Christian Europe not the American Christians. Besides, the crusades to restore Christian control of the Holy Land were fought between 1095 and 1291 which is roughly a little over 700 years ago! Now compare that to today's Christians who not only donate their time helping those in need in this country as well as others but also donate money [usually through various organizations]. Moreover, as of late I haven't see/read any news articles stating that Christians are cutting off other people's heads because they are not the same religion as them unlike those practicing Islam.
Anyone who thoroughly studies Islam, approaches the faith with an open mind and lots of questions, discovers reason and logic. Neither politics nor science nor freedom conflict with Islam.
Since Christians have been fighting science so long, let's discuss that one today. If I clone an organism, am I playing at being God? Of course not! As a human, I am incapable of taking over any role of God. As you might know, God is not human. He has not begot, nor is He begotten. As a Muslim I know this, and there's no need to limit the potential of my mind. Taking an egg and inserting a cell into an egg doesn't mean I have created something out of nothing. All the genetic info was already in the cell which I put into the egg. I can manipulate creation, and convert matter into energy, but ultimately God is the Creator of the Universe. He is Most Gracious, Most Merciful. I'm just His lowly servant. He gave me intellect, and I am free to use my intellect to improve my knowledge and try to understand His creation. Nothing wrong with that. The whole point of giving us a brain is so we use it :)

I also suspect this man is part of a covert operation to create a nightmare situation in America where Muslims HATE christians, and Christians hate Muslims. NOT GOOD! The people who are of the devil are THE ILLUMINATI!!!
I heard that only 10 per cent of Muslims are extremists. So, that's about 100,000,000 million. They need to shut up and stop hurting people.
