On February 24 , 2012 , Pastor Terry Jones released a video on YouTube on which he demanded the Iranian government release a pastor by the name of Youcef Nadarkhani from prison . Nadarkhani is a pastor who had been found guilty for apostasy from Islam , when he left Islam at the age of 19 and converted to Christianity . The Iranian government had used sharia law to sentence Nadarkhani to be executed for apostasy unless he recanted his conversion to Christianity . On September 11 , 2012 , on the 11-year anniversary of the 9/11 attack , Jones held an event called ' International Judge Mohammed day ' . On this day , Jones put the Islamic prophet Mohammed on trial on charges such as rape , being a false prophet and being responsible for the murder of millions of Non-Muslims and minorities . Mohammed was found guilty and Jones proceeded with a burning of a Mohammed action figure and the Koran as well
