It must be awful being a wealthy celebrity who takes on the gig of UN ambassador. You have to go to all these poverty stricken places and you’re fully expected to blank out that room you have in one of your houses that is filled with jewels and 68.4 surround sound and the like. Awful. Simply awful.
And that’s the plight faced by poor ol’ Angelina Jolie. When she’s not being really rich in the face of flood victims, she highlighting other bad things.
After nodding meekly like a modern Princess Diana, Jolie has moved on from looking nice in a Jedi hood to condemning a Florida church’s threat to burn copies of the Muslim holy book to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
The Pout-A-Tron actress spoke out against the proposed burning during her worthiness building exercise to Pakistan.
Jolie says:
“I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody’s religious book!”
Of course, America is home to some of the most spectacular nut-jobs in the whole world and one of these staggering wank-barrows is the Christian minister who is organizing the Quran burning and he goes by the name of Pastor Terry Jones. It takes a special type of right-wing tit-hamper to actually believe that anything good might come from burning another religion’s sacred text.
Until Jolie opened her big fat mouth, the issue hadn’t got much press in Pakistan, mainly because they’ve been busy dealing with those really awful floods.
However, militants in the country will now be more than aware of it after The Really Famous Person mentioned it to everyone.
Well done you.
Fundamentalist will now be sharpening their bullets to kill soldiers, leaving that small percentage of crackpot Americans to get even more angry and blindly assume that Muslims are somehow a menace to the world – which they’re not. Idiots.
(Apologies to all the nice, clever Americans in the world)
Jaap says
Why are you changing the facts and is your anger geared to Angelina. The publicity was already massive before she entered the discussion, so your story is faulty and draws the attention away from the real nutcases.
Burning books stems from Europe and the book burning in the ancient past, is America now going back in time……..
Luckely I know that most Americans are sound and trustworthy people otherwise I would get the wrong impression. Not sure if everybody gets this.
Terry Davenport says
How can anyone be so understanding and so uninformed at the same time, Muslims holy book talks down Jesus (as Christ) christians (catholics) and atonement for sins, which is the basis of old testament and new. Muslims and christians can’t find common grounds with views written at least 300 years after the death of (Christ) Jesus, any more than The Holocaust is nothing but superstition, BIG Differences.
not you says
wow you hate angelina jolie mr.. mrs… who are you???… nobody. don’t be a critic they aren’t good at anything but being a bitch. O and they had this story on CNN so everyone knew not just Angelina.
Civil Engineer says
Instead of blaming the foolish man “pretending” to be a pastor, starting a new cultural war; you have open your “big fat mouth” just to blame Angelina?
If you really care about your soldiers (who have captured Muslim lands illegally and immorally and forced Muslims to fight back – and thus now they are called “terrorists”) stop that foolish man from doing what he has planned.
dan says
i believe if this act causes our military to have extra losses overseas or we have problems over here the church and all involved should be held accountable
C. R. says
Wait, you would blame Mrs. Jolie rather than the preacher who is planning to do this horrible act? Don’t you realize that our government is trying to get this man to not do this because of the potential backlash it could bring not only to our soldiers but on our own home front at a time when it’s needed the least? So you want to burn these books, is that what you’re getting at? Idiot.
C.R. says
Another thing. No one got mad at Audrey Hepburn for “flashing her riches in front of the poor” and Mrs. Jolie is no different. She and her husband give SO MUCH of their billions and most importantly, their time while people like you sit on your butt and write idiotic articles about things you don’t know about and spend your paycheck on whatever you spend it on. New shoes? Do you go and give your time and money to people less fortunate? Would you if you could? You don’t have to be rich to help people and just because she’s loaded and chooses to help people doesn’t mean she’s out there flaunting it in front of them. She is helping people in a way that not all of us can because she’s got the funding to do it, she sacrifices her paycheck to make others happier and she’s a great person for just that no matter what her personal demons may be. She’s out there giving herself, her money and risking disease and illness to help others while other celebrities sit around their posh homes partying and while other “regular people” go to their everyday jobs and lives without a second thought to help others. Don’t dog her when she’s out there doing work that others think is beneath them.
Joe says
Perhaps the bigger question is why would a man who purports to be a religious man spread hate? I could be wrong, but I thought religion was supposed to be more about love than hate.
Maruf says
@ Terry Davenport , The Quran does not talk down on Jesus, infact it is complete contrary, it stations Jesus in a very high stature and confirm his miraculous birth and his second coming. If you really want to know story of Jesus than try reading this book for change instead of hearing half hap rumors from the ignorant who have no credibility or any authentic source of their knowledge. It is your ignorance of the facts that make you type this key strokes on this bulletin. Try reading the Quran for a change in its proper context maybe you will learn something.
As for Angelina, I applaud her for taking a stand on what is right.
As for Pastor Terry Jones the backward bigot he needs to wake up to the modern 21st century we are not living in mid evil times. I find it hard to comprehend that bigots like these still exist in our times.
Sharaaz Khan says
Well, you seem to imply that if you are rich, have wealth and fame, you should not do good deeds? Miss Jolie’s humanitarian work is commendable and she stands out from the countless others who are stink rich but do less to change the world around them and address poverty. The how does she call attention to this Quran-burning issue in Pakistan which, by the way, had become more well known in the Muslim world even before press in the US started giving it attention. Get your facts straight and if you write something with such a large audience, you better be responsible for your words.
Lu says
You fell to a new low.
The uneducated bigot ready to burn holy books has no idea the consequences. The people blaming Islam for 9-11 have no idea how many wonderful, loving, caring, anti-terrorists Muslims there are of all nationalities in all countries.
Attacking Angelina for gathering the tribal wisdom to say this possible book burning is stupid and dangerous is stupid and dangerous of you.
Angry American says
Is this article just an attack on Angelina or on the United States? I think you need to recheck your facts, compose a more neutral article, and then you can print it in your school paper. This article screams childish attacks by a person targeting a celebrity.
Alyson says
How dare you call it a Jedi hood!? She was being respectful to their culture. How would you feel if you were invited to a friend’s party that asked you to wear black and white? Would you purposefully wear colors just because you thought it was funny? No, because your friend would feel hurt. Maybe she’s decided to be the better person in this situation and wear their culture’s clothing? You don’t wear winter clothes to a summer holiday, now do you? I’m 14 years old and know you’re wrong. Try to be mature, seeing this website’s motto is ‘Gossip for adults’. Maybe they should re-write your slogan as, ‘Assuming asses.’ This is a poor excuse for an article. This is an example of why media gossip, celebrity entertainment and government news are seperated. So ignorant people like you don’t get their noses snapped off for being in someone else’s business. And don’t go off on me saying I’m ‘too young’ to know what I’m talking about. The youth in this country know a lot more than you think.
Becca says
Dan– LOVE YOUR COMMENT
Christina says
I just want to say, that although Mof Gimmers is a little harsh on Jolie, who yes is a very giving person, I did not read anywhere in his article that he actually supported the burning of the Quran, only that he felt by Angelina, a UN Ambassador who happens to be American, is in essense bringing more heat and attention to this silly demonstration threat made by a pastor!
As if to say the Mega Mosque that Muslim’s are wanting to build RIGHT next to ground zero of the World Trade Center’s isn’t that big of deal or insult?!
Or, how about, although it is selfless of Jolie to give her time, money and attention to aiding FOREIGN countries rather than living it up in ONE of her posh pad’s, what about all the AMERICANS who are suffering, look at the Katrina victims 5 + years later and still they wait, or the Gulf Oil Spill, or the millions of homeless and hungry AMERICANS who are also in need??
I agree with the cynicism of this article because it’s the blunt truth. I do not support the burning of any bible no matter what the religion, but I do support the American people and believe the gesture was simply pain in the hearts of OUR people and rather than Jolie, an American, go into Pakistan and antagonize or instigate, SHE should be over here in America in attempt to influence and convince the Muslim leader’s responsible for the planning and building of the Mega Mosque to build it somewhere less offensive to the American people!
PN says
The writer of this artical should have the hard copy and his contract burned! Get your head out of your ASS! Write something worth reading. Here’s an idea “Be part of the solution” not the problem.
a.m. says
This is a joke right? Nothing grown up about this piece.
R.C. says
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks the writer of this article has their finger pointed at the wrong person. Although Angelina may have lots of material posessions, she has done good for the world than any other celebrity I can think of. But back to the issue…
Like someone else previously stated, this was already a well publicized topic. The “pastor” has obviously lost his way as such, because anyone who feels they are doing God’s work wouldn’t do something as vulgar as burning the Quran thereby offending millions of people. Unfortunatetly this “pastor” has gotten the media’s attention. Personally I wish someone would have just knocked him upside his head.
RamzyLanka says
Angelina Jolie soon would be a celebrity among Muslim World over, if not known for a few Muslims out side of US. Thus, she will be loved by Muslims and hated by the fundamental Christians.
This kind of silly things happening for now 1400 yrs, no body could do any harm to Islam but all these kinds of acts, burning the holy book or sabotaging the image of Islam will good to Islam than bad.
Millions of Angelina Jolie-ies born and dead who contributed to Islam form the non-Muslim communities and Millions of Papayas like Pastor Terry Jones too born and dead and could not harm even a bit of Islam , day to day Islam is flourishing one day US will be a Muslim country if this kind of trend continues .
Thanks Pastor terry for your contribution.
Ramzy Sri Lanka
Sam Davis says
I fully agree with this article. Jolie gets in the news by going and seeing victims of tragedies. The fact that she doesn’t do anything about it just goes to show how shallow she really is. She’s rich beyond belief and only adopts kids from third world countries so she can get tax cuts. Nothing about her is real, not even her famous lips are real. Because this insane minister is doing something horrible doesn’t mean Jolie should make a big deal out of it. People do terrible things because of religion everyday and nobody says anything about them. Because this insane minister is doing this, extremists in the Middle East have an even better excuse to hate America. Yet they wouldn’t of known about it except for Jolie. She should mind her own business. If she wants to make a difference, stop putting herself in the limelight!

I say burn every last page of those books. We cant keep turning out head to those muslims any longer. They will never stop until all the christians are dead. Do any of you know why Iran really wants nukes? The idiot leader over there believe the 12th Imam is about to return to rule the world. The idiot leader wants nukes to help usher in this Imam. The Imam is equivalent version of the 2nd coming of Christ. Only this Imam will probably be the antichrist. USA has become such a double standard… no we cant offend the muslims but they sure has hell can walk all over us. Woman can were towels over their head and face in to a bank. If I wore a ski mask in a bank I would go to jail. I did nothing different I covered my face like hers except I used my western civilization clothing and she used her eastern trash. Fuck the Muslims and their whole we want to rule the world and kill all the christians. I am sick of this shit. Burn every last fucking book they have. Lets bring this war they want to a head and get it over with. yeah… some of this dont sound to christian…. but im pissed. building a mosque next to ground zero???? that is a slap in the face. i should organize my own koran burning event. that would be awesome.

I just have one question…. Have you any idea what is written in the Quran?
Omo says
this guy…girl…whatever…isn’t making any sense. just a bunch of jibberish coming out…has to be a dude. hecklerspray? what kind of a girl would make that kind of name up? i mean, seriously!? if so, i want to write an effin article too, dammit! that wasn’t even really effin gossip! jeesh!

you ever hear of the internet? yeah it spreads news fast. they’ve known about what is going on for a long time.
some of you people are idiots.

amen to that…
Tima says
You may have well just addressed the problem of most americans…. Ignorance.
How many really know about the religion..Islam? How many know what is in the book..the Quran? Very few…. hencce their blinding hatred..all towards something they are not een trying to understand.
And how amny knowthat the 9/11 attacks where not religious based?.. well these questins and their answers should give an insight to ignorant opinoins by the likes of Terry Davenport and the pastor Terry.

Winnie the Pooh says
The post by C.R. was right on the mark! I would like to add his lack of concern about how his protest (burning) would backfire causing more military causalities to us. WHAT WILL THIS PROTEST ACHIEVE? WHAT WILL THE END RESULT PROVE? I thought we (the U.S.) was founded partially for our religious freedom, aka so that we could worship and support ANY religion we chose. MY God would NEVER encourage this burning! Please stop !
John W. Carmichael says
Excuse me
Is this another incident in the on going Christian Inquisition that has been going on for ages? Hate mongers, a den of thieves, a generation of vipers in which the prince of peace pointed out more than two thousand years ago.
Or is it according to the great commandment that we should love one another?
Get real. Some radical has got bats in his belfry
David says
So let me get this right your okay with this Muslims burn the United States Of America flag but or against burnning the Koran.
America has become weak and pathatic bowing down to this Terrioist that have kill countless people wwhen they attacted the twin towers.
And are now wanting to build a Victory Mosque near the site of were American lives were lost.
You people are sick and weak minded puppets whom have been brain wash, into to thinking only if it is Politicaly correct.
These Muslims do not have the right to build such a Mosque esspecial one proclaiming Victory what the @@#$# Are you *(**&^ thinking you UnAmerican &**(%$# have you lost all sense of what it is to be and American.
Tasha says
The people commenting on this are ridiculous! Obviously the reporter doesn’t believe that Angelina Jolie was somehow the only person to know about this or the first person to break the news. Anyone who’s taking her side is kind of an idiot, it’s because of people like her spreading word about how “horrible” America is that just fuels the fire for people to hate us. These celebrities need to shut their mouths!
joan says
I would classify Heckler Spray with the other publications and writers that have so much self-hatred that they would attempt to nullifyother people in order to justify themselves or feel good about themselves. This is the second piece of junk from a so call “newspaper/media spreader” that I have read today. I think if each of us would apply the golden rule – do unto others as you would have them do to you” there would be a little less hate!
Linda says
What crawled up your ass and died? Does being wealthy preclude doing good works? If you hadn’t noticed, the world was already having a hissy fit about this idiot and his book burning…you seriously thing no one had noticed before Ms Jolie commented on it?
Get a life. Maybe get your lazy ass out of your chair and donate a little of your own time to a cause. Or better yet…just shut up.
Ryan says
Please stick to writing celebrity trash that you normally write and stay away from writing anything with substance. You are facts are wrong. People in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the rest of the world knew about this well before Jolie said anything about this.
David says
The only uneducated people here are you people that are angainst this mans right to burn the Koran after all it is just another book.
You do remember the book burnings right well this is just another book.
It is not like he is tying up a Muslim to a pole like in the Witch Trails and burnning them to death it is just a book.
The Only idiots here are you with no back bone to stand up for America and those that lost their Lives some how you are more concerned about those Muslims that blew up the Twin Towers than the Americans that were in the towers when they Attacked them.
And yes the are some Good Muslims maybe two out of every thousand.
C.S. says
So let me get this straight…Ms. Jolie uses her name and money to help people in need and this is a bad thing…and the so called “man of God” burning someones religous book out of angry and fear is a good thing? Buddy you need to get things straightened out. My God , the one this man portrays as knowing, is a loving God who is displeased by hatred.
Proverbs 26:26 Though his hatred is covered by deceit, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
Kristen Kosnac says
Not only is this a completely unwarranted attack on one of the most selfless celebs in Hollywood, it is a gramatically poor article. “She highlighting”? Should be “she’s”…”sharpening their bullets to kill soldiers with leaving crackpot Americans…” should be “soldiers while leaving”. Not to mention the use of cliched phrases such as “big fat mouth”, which any real writer knows enough to steer clear of. But I guess such is the product when stupid people are allowed to assert their opinions.
riff_raff says
I’m not an Angelina Jolie fan in anyway! But she is 100% correct in what she’s saying about the people in this country and the stupid inbreeds that are doing this book burning bullshit! The repercussions from this are going to be far reaching. Our military forces are going to be the once to pay the price for this ignorant hate act first!
By the way, their have already been minor out breaks of violence over the qu’ran burning already (before Angelina Jolie even said anything)!
Mr. Jaguar says
Mr. Mof Gimmers, fuck you. I can’t believe you are allowed to write articles. Hopefully you are able to realize that you are giving the blame to the wrong person. I bet if you had the money Jolie has you wouldnd’t give a nickle to help others. I know it might sound corny but, don’t hate, appreciate.
Rdr says

Do you really think Muslims care what the hell Angelina Jolie thinks? They have plenty of other reasons to hate the US than what a celebrity says.
Stanley says
If you think either Pitt or Jolie are funding their pet projects out of altruistic motives, think again: it’s a tax writeoff.
The IRS will probably go after the recipients of Pitt’s $150,000 homes down in the 9th Ward in N.O. ; can they afford the taxes on a windfall of that amount?
Don’t think so; they were living in cheap trailers and run down shacks mostly, before the hurricane.
BTW – it’s not Mrs. Jolie. She isn’t married to him; she ( is?) (was?) bisexual, and so she isn’t Mr Pitt, either.
Come to think of it, I don’t think , were I she, that I would want to be named Mrs. Pitt – that just smells…

Whoever wrote obviously just has a problem with Angelina Jolie or celebrities as a whole. I knew about the quran burning a few days ago. I learned about Angelina talking about it after some no name hack was whining about it and it somehow made it on my Yahoo.
Also, I commend the author of this article for looking into the giant problem that is celebrities and rich people doing charity work. Obviously what we need is for these rich and famous people to care less and not do anything to help or contribute to society and the world. I’ve honestly never read such borderline retarded “journalism”.
Tamara says
I am honestly sick of US citizens who go abroad to live and make their living off Hollywood entertainment, then decide to become “world ambassators”. I could care less about their opinions on world peace and politics. You do not speak for me or MY country! Go home and raise your children Ms.Jolie!

The book burning Pastor is an imbecile.
Angelina Jolie is good value.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is sadly misguided and needs to decide if they want to spend their lives as a catalyst of harm and ignorance and death or a catalyst of peace and knowledge and life. God is not religious. The one saving grace of those poor ridiculous suicide bombers is that they say, God IS Great!
jolie says
so let me get this right …you think that she should not have “opened her big fat mouth”
…so that the mental patients can go ahead and do their thing while we, who have the power to have the “mentals” loose their power ranking, should we choose to take action, can go on in pure bliss of ignorance ???
yeah she’s the bad stupid celebrity and you’re the genius writer that would have let the whole thing progress in silence. Are you really that ignorant that you think that this issue would not have surfaced sooner or later with angry people sharpening their bullets coming forth much stronger since no-body on our side of the pond showed an example that “some americans do care”
just go back to blogging about paris hiltons latest outfit won’t you?
Jennie says
I am guessing you never read the Quran like most American who feel they are superior to the rest of the world. You just spew whatever they teach you. Anyone who is condoning burning a holy book regardless of what religion is Evil plain and simple. Yahoo you suck for your article it just shows who is pulling your strings. You still believe it was Muslims responsible for 9/11? Why don’t you try reading. I pity any nation that calls themselves men of God and then burns the books of other peoples faith. They don’t teach against other religions that is the job of Christians. Further more if a Christian kills a bunch of people does that mean we should try to wipe out all of them because that kind of thing happens all the time. I suggest you read what ever holy book you have and get on your knees and worship the real GOD because the real GOD does not teach this hate coming out of America. The Devil has his grip deep into the US. You act like Muslims are some kind of cult their are more of them than any other religion why do you think they want you to hate them so much. This is all about controlling people and you are all being taken for a ride straight to hell. None of the Holy books regardless of what religion teaches this kind of hate. Start reading and stop listen to what others want you to believe before it is too late.
mehdi says
Tima, yes i know what is in Quran. you can find some good things & some bad things in it. but what about the Bible? it has also so many good things & so many crappy things together. so i think you have never read the Bible! have u?

What in the Hell kind of Christian are you? What GOD do you worship? You are saying the exact kind of Crap that they want you to believe all Muslims say which is the biggest conspiracy the world has ever seen. You are talking about killing God’s children and not just his children but those who worship him. How do you think you are gonna get out of that on Judgment day? You are no different than a terrorist who happens to be Muslim or rather claim to be Muslim. You are saying the exact same words only you are directing them the other way and you think you are better than them. It is a common fact that their have been groups who pretend to be Muslim who try and destroy the Muslim from with in. It has been going on for 1400 years. These people do not follow the Quran that you speak of. My question to you is this what is your excuse? The Quran, The Gospel and Tora are all the word of God and it says it in the Quran and the Quran has been proven to be the word of God countless times there is no way that the things in it could have been known about at the time by any man. Like when we would land on the moon, how a baby forms in the mothers womb which science has just recently discovered. The invention of the computer. You are talking about burning the word of GOD. It says the Bible and The Quran that you will burn in hell for that. The problem with many Christians is that you think you can say a few words and that you are saved and now you can do any evil you want and you have a free get out of hell free card. Jesus said through me you are saved meaning by living what he came to teach us. What kind of God would create some kind of evil rule for any people. To walk with GOD you have to act as much like him as you can in nature and if you are not walking with him you are walking with the Devil no matter what you call yourself you have a huge surprise waiting for you when you die. That thing you Worship is not the one God of the world. Why don’t you try reading your bible? The most sold book in the world and the least read. I have read it cover to cover unlike you and this Pastor so I know what I am talking about.

The most important issue at hand is that of free speech. You may exercise it by burning books, flags or by calling editors and/or the people they talk about, flaming idiots. In the United States, we are free to speak out on just about any issue. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hury me. If a guy wants to burn some books and he paid for them, what real difference does it make? If Angolina wants to talk about it, who cares? Get a life. Get real. Find an issue of true significance to waste your limited brain power upon.
Julee says
Didn’t any one else hear about the detainees at Guantanamo Bay flushing their Quran’s down the toilets in order to over flow them and make life a living hell for the guards? Oh wait I know this because MY COUSIN SERVES and HES SEEN IT. Fuck off to anyone that thinks burning it will make a big diff in how they already feel about us – how about when they burn our bibles and flag?????? Did you watch the people jump from the twin towers on the 11th?????? Well I did and thats when I decided they LOST their rights to freedom of religion in this country. If their law is to kill anyone of us, then I really dont consider it to be a religious book.
GrammyM says
No hate, just keep your mouth shut. I am sick of hand outs when people in this country are hungry and losing their homes! She never will know poverty?
If she is so wonderful why did she not adopt American children?
These celebrity’s that are out spoken are not aware of what is really going on in this country! Oprah’s opens a school in Africa, see was so wonderful for spending millions, why did she not do it here to heal the children?
Our President sends soldiers to the border but they are not allowed to arrest anyone what a joke! The ones that are crossing are most likely laughing!
I WILL NOT give to anyone outside the USA. As far as Pakistan goes no money let their government do it. I saw the news when they cheered that the towers fell!
Alex says
I think her big mouth just ruined her in the eyes of the American people. She apparantly doesn’t care about the over 3,000 American citizens that lost their lives that dreadful day on September 11. I agree with the pastor who burned the Quran, yeah for him, 95% of the American people agree with him. Does Angelina not care about the victims that burned to death that day, and some jumped out of the windows, maybe she should have been on the stairwell and burned to death also!!!!!
Rts says
Wow, i know, what the hell is wrong with her, freedom of religion, hahahaha. But who cares, its not like this article is bias or anything, sad that yahoo bothered to give this crap publicity….
Giorgio Zamboni says
I’m not quit sure how to respond to this attack on Angelina and Brad Pitt. I guess what I want to say is: What have U done 4 the world lately writer ? I think shes done quit a bit representing the U S @ the U N. Do U think U would be a better example of America to the world, if so why were U not appointed as U S Ambassador to anything ? Maybe U thought U should get an appointment to a position of influence too. I think some of the really good people in Hollywood are chipping in to help those that are in genuine need during natual desasters i.e. Haiti and the like. Maybe some of the extremist will change their minds when we send them some relief after the flooding has subsided. I see no purpose in burning the Koran any more than burning the Cathalic Bibles during the inquisition aniversery every year. Lets @ least try to live in peace when we can..

Not being a particular fan of Bradjolina, I still think that anyone who gives of their time and money to help others deserve better than to be savgaed by a writer who merely writes to incite others so he (she) can get hits for their site.
As to some of the racist and simplistic comments about burning the Qu’ran, Koran or whatever religious book is in question, I think this just proves that, while the Founding Fathers were great, I sometimes wish that they had instituted a means test other than the mere accident of birth for citizenship. How you people can gas about taking away rights while pretending to love this country and ALL that it stands for is beyond me.

RamzyLanka – when did you dreamed that US one day will be muslim country? you just said nonsence coming from muslim mouth.
RamzyLanka says
Fukuda You can burn all the books of Muslims but not Quran, its in the Hearts of Millions and Millions of Muslims.
From the Book follows some words of God..
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Who hath created the heavens and the earth, and hath appointed darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe rivals unto their Lord. (1) He it is Who hath created you from clay, and hath decreed a term for you. A term is fixed with Him. Yet still ye doubt! (2) He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knoweth both your secret and your utterance, and He knoweth what ye earn. (3) Never came there unto them a revelation of the revelations of Allah but they did turn away from it. (4) And they denied the truth when it came unto them. But there will come unto them the tidings of that which they used to deride. (5) See they not how many a generation We destroyed before them, whom We had established in the earth more firmly than We have established you, and We shed on them abundant showers from the sky, and made the rivers flow beneath them. Yet we destroyed them for their sins, and created after them another generation. (6) Had we sent down unto thee (Muhammad) (actual) writing upon parchment, so that they could feel it with their hands, those who disbelieve would have said: This is naught else than mere magic. (7) They say: Why hath not an angel been sent down unto him? If We sent down an angel, then the matter would be judged; no further time would be allowed them (for reflection). (8) Had we appointed him an angel (Our messenger), We assuredly had made him (as) a man (that he might speak to men); and (thus) obscured for them (the truth) they (now) obscure. (9) Messengers (of Allah) have been derided before thee, but that whereat they scoffed surrounded such of them as did deride. (10) Say (unto the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters! (11) Say: Unto whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth? Say: Unto Allah. He hath prescribed for Himself mercy, that He may bring you all together to the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. Those who ruin their souls will not believe. (12) Unto Him belongeth whatsoever resteth in the night and the day. He is the Hearer, the Knower. (13) Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feedeth and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him). And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters. (14) Say: I fear, if I rebel against my Lord, the retribution of an Awful Day. (15) He from whom (such retribution) is averted on that day, (Allah) hath in truth had mercy on him. That will be the signal triumph. (16) If Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch thee with good fortune (there is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things. (17) He is the Omnipotent over His slaves, and He is the Wise, the Knower. (18) Say (O Muhammad): What thing is of most weight in testimony? Say: Allah is Witness between you and me. And this Qur’an hath been inspired in me, that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach. Do ye in sooth bear witness that there are gods beside Allah? Say: I bear no such witness. Say: He is only One Allah. Lo! I am innocent of that which ye associate (with Him). (19) Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognise (this revelation) as they recognise their sons. Those who ruin their own souls will not believe. (20) Who doth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah or denieth His revelations? Lo! the wrongdoers will not be successful. (21) And on the day We gather them together We shall say unto those who ascribed partners (unto Allah): Where are (now) those partners of your make-believe? (22) Then will they have no contention save that they will say: By Allah, our Lord, we never were idolaters. (23) See how they lie against themselves…
My country is an non-Muslim country (Sri Lanka) do you believe there are thousand of Hafees (people memories the whole Quran) so Mr. Fukda how could you burn the book of Allah..

Hate much lately?
Blaming Jolie for the media blasting it in the news is pretty lame.
Mof Gimmers sounds like a wanna-be right-wing hack who has perfected the art of hating those who are not responsible for the stupidity of others.
Please, find yourself a new job, dipsh*t.
me says
Thanks for exercising your freedom of speech.
tiger says
Wow!!! , your cousin must have really hard time watching those naughty monsters in their 5 start rooms having fun with their digital golden toilets. I think the best punishment for those monsters is to send them to the court and stop the 5 star services! Also they will not enjoy the drowning experience by using cloth-on-face hot tubes any more.
Tell me again what court did put them in the 10 years honey money Gunatanmue Plaza hotel?
Show me one pic of someone burring Bible and i will give you all the world credit!!
See, you can hate any one, it is your right, but don

Get a fucking editor.

I like Angelina Jolie and what she has done with her influence as an actress, so I am not fond of how you put this. However, I do understand what you’re saying, and I actually agree, somewhat to it. I have to say, I am sided with her in that I hate that they decided to do that (and I am, like that pastor, a Christian), but I don’t think it was very smart of her to bring it into so much attention. You’re right, people may end up putting us Americans into one big, stereotypical melting pot, and hate all of us, and who knows where that will lead! Many wars have been fought over religion.
Alyson says
And idiots that write bias articles..
Davin says
Hello Just have to agree in part with this Exactly who case the first stone.. Welp Angelina we all would be honored at least someone speaks up about these events they are not normal people when a Christain Minister is suggesting to burn Religious books how childish. How about this Minister developing better understanding friend ship with the Muslims.. They are only as good ast their leaders right? The world is big enough for all Gods Children common..
Rolf Cervin says
Hey ,Im just cool with anyone who brings to light the social issues of the day!
Davin says
yeah books can plug up the whole process interestingly, Have you read all these books. Ours limitations to reach the truth give many paths of enlightenment.. Some of you actually think your Gods.. Chose a path that is in harmony.. Challenge your self to follow the golden rule.. Give peace a chance. God is awesome.. Sciencist ask questions. God authored the greatest books.. Just do the math people we are all only as good as the weakest.. Seek the truth within.

Ignorant assholes like you are what’s wrong with this country and are also the reason other countries and terrorists hate us and want to destroy us. I don’t know who is more ignorant, Terry Jones (who should be stripped of his position for his insensitivity) or you for seeing nothing wrong with it. Yes, what happened on September 11th was truly an atrocity that should never have occurred but it was NOT the Qu’ran that killed them! Terrorists did it. Terrorists that do not represent the entire nation but a select few radicals. Yes, a lot of people out there don’t like us but I can’t blame them, we make things worse and force our beliefs and ideals on other people whether they like it or not. However, they are not all radicals. Either way, we have our own ignorant extremists too. For example, assholes like you and Terry Jones. You wanna do something that’s acceptable, make some cut outs of Bin Laden and shoot/burn those or something. Oh, and before you go off on how what she did not being right, she wouldn’t have had to do it if an ignorant pastor had not decided to burn a holy text of another culture because he could not understand how and why it’s wrong.
