George Zimmerman wins support of Quran-burning pastor

The Gainesville pastor who set off riots in the Middle East by burning the Quran is turning out to support George Zimmerman today at a University of Florida protest of Trayvon Martin's shooting death, according to Rev. Terry Jones' Dove World Outreach Center.
Jones and 20 members of his church plan to attend a march scheduled to begin about 5 p.m. at the UF campus and continue along University Avenue to Gainesville City Hall, said Fran Ingram, a church spokeswoman.
He will likely face oppostion because the march is in support of Trayvon and will include people who want Zimmerman arrested.
"He will be there to advocate for George Zimmerman's Constitutional rights," Ingram said.
