DEARBORN — During a private meeting with a diverse
denomination of religious leaders on Apr. 16 at the Ford Community and
Performing Arts Center, members of the Port Huron-based Order of the Dragon
announced the group had canceled its controversial “anti-shari’a”
protest on April 22.

Florida Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach
Center, who was expected to protest with the group, didn’t cancel plans to
demonstrate in Dearborn. The meeting was attended by interfaith leaders, Order
of the Dragon President Frank Fiorello and the group’s Vice President Jammie
Bothwell. Fiorello distributed copies of an anti-shari’a law bill he plans on
bringing specifically to Michigan . “I don’t believe that shari’a law is
implemented here or anywhere else. 
I’m just worried about the future, and that is why we passed out this
bill today,” Fiorello said. Fiorello, along with other group members say
they’re not affiliated with Jones, and he contacted them asking to participate
in the protest after learning about it from Facebook. Fiorello said he agreed
to meet with faith leaders instead of having a protest.
