Pastor Terry Jones — who was sentenced to death by an Egyptian court in November for his ties to a film about Muslims that sparked Islamic riots — is planning a mass Koran burning to mark the 12th anniversary of Sept. 11.
A producer of the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is suing the British comedy troupe over royalties from the hit stage musical "Spamalot."
It's no joking matter.
An Egyptian court convicted in absentia Wednesday seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor, sentencing them to death on charges linked to an anti-Islam film that sparked riots in parts of the Muslim world.

Shortly after the Sept. 11 attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called obscure Florida minister Terry Jones to urge him not to support the now-infamous anti-Islam online film.
Some call Graham Chapman the forgotten Python. Some call him the enigmatic one. John Cleese calls him the dead one.
Egypt's general prosecutor issued arrest warrants Tuesday for seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor and referred them to trial on charges linked to an anti-Islam film that has sparked riots across the Muslim world.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has asked a Florida preacher to withdraw his support of the anti-Muslim film that may have fueled the fatal attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya.
At the time, Mr. Jones told The Associated Press the death sentence only revealed the "true face of Islam," which he said trounced free speech rights.
"We can speak out here in America," Jones said. "That freedom means that we criticize government leadership, religion even at times. Islam is not a religion that tolerates any type of criticism."
