GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Controversial Gainesville Pastor Terry Jones is facing big tax troubles.
While Jones is known for burning the Quran and supporting an anti-Islamic video, the IRS now says Jones and his Dove World Outreach Center owe more than $100,000 for unpaid income taxes, and have now placed a lien on the property.
Jones did not have a comment tonight.
While the church itself would be tax-exempt. The lien might be linked to a furniture business Dove has run for a couple of years.
Jones was first in the spotlight for burning a Muslim holy book last year, prompting riots overseas.
The same thing happened this month when Jones promoted an internet movie about Muhammed that Muslims call blasphemous.
