<p>A controversial American preacher who threatened to burn the Koran has warned that he will fight moves to ban him from coming to Britain.</p>
<p>Home Secretary Theresa May is facing calls to bar Pastor Terry Jones from entering the country following the disclosure that he had been invited to address the far-right English Defence League (EDL).</p>
<p>Mr Jones caused outrage across the Muslim world earlier this year when he announced plans by his Florida-based church to burn copies of the Koran to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America.</p>
<p>He insisted that he would be bringing a &#8220;positive message&#8221; for the English people when he makes his planned visit to address an EDL rally in Luton in February.</p>
<p>He made clear that he would resist any attempt by the Government to prevent him coming to the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I would just simply accept that. I think I would protest that,&#8221; he told BBC Radio 4&#8217;s Today programme.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would hope that that would not be the case because I have given my word that we will not do anything against the law or do anything that would cause an uprising or violence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the controversy caused by his plans to burn the Koran &#8211; eventually called off after President Barack Obama warned it would be a &#8220;recruitment bonanza&#8221; for al Qaida &#8211; he suggested he would be a moderating influence on the EDL, which has been linked to a series of violent protests.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I am there and have anything to say and any type of influence, I will definitely demand that we have a peaceful demonstration or a peaceful rally. I do not advocate violence of any form,&#8221; he said.</p>
