Centre notoriousfor Islamophobia

It follows the Pentecostal tradition whose followers view themselves as engaged in spiritual warfare against satanic forces.

The Rev Jones, who espouses an anti-Islam philosophy, is no stranger to controversy.

At least two dozen Christian churches, Jewish temples and Muslim organisations in Gainesville are planning inclusive events to counter what the Rev Jones is doing. A student group is organising a protest.
