Angelina Jolie Speaks Out Against Planned Koran Burning
People Magazine ^ | 9-8-10 | Mary Green

Posted on 09/08/2010 4:55:06 PM PDT by Justaham

Add Angelina Jolie to the growing list of voices opposing a plan by a Florida pastor to burn the Muslim holy book on September 11.

"I have hardly the words," she told reporters in Islamabad, Pakistan, to describe actions "that somebody would do that to somebody's religious book."

Jolie, who is in Pakistan to highlight the plight of flood victims in the country, was asked if she supported Pastor Terry Jones's planned Koran-burning. She answered, "Of course not. Of course not," and praised the response from some U.S. officials who condemned any such action.

Chicken sh!t!

This is just a nobody preacher!

This would be just as big a deal if he had a "let's all draw Mohammed day."

What I can't believe is that conservatives are willing to accept that idea that islam can be appeased...that it can somehow be encouraged to join the modern world.

It is a disease!

Yes, God loves muslims and they are our brothers...but islam is a Satanic cult and it needs to be provoked despite what the media says.

They are sensitive. We know that from 9/11/01 and the outcry we saw them make against terrorism. Seriously, burning the Koran would be hurtful. And mean. And just plain icky.

Did she also use the opportunity to denounce Sharia Law, the stoning of women to death, and the over subjugation of women under Islam, even in Pakistan? Um, no.

Who owns the book that is to be burned?

If Jones can provide a receipt from the local Korans are us, it is his property to burn.

It would be like me going and buying a sculpture and smashing it with a hammer because I hate the artist. The artist may not like me for doing so, but tough noogies.

Have we fallen so much in our understanding of personal property rights that we think we can tell other private citizens what to go do with their money if they want to spend some of their money to make apolitical statement in their own way?

Sometimes you just feel like banging your head on cement... because too many people have lost the ability to actually THINK.... maybe we should mandate chess playing when people are young, then they would learn to think ahead to ramifications of their moves (in the game and in life).

Me, neither.

Channeling anger with fire, burning something associated with an enemy in the hopes of thwarting him...under any other circumstances, that would be written off as crazy superstition or condemned as witchcraft.

How do you know what he wants? Maybe he honestly believes he is doing God's will.

So you want to appease islam...does that automatically make those with courage to p!ss off the islamic world publicity seekers?

People like Geert Wilders and Hirsi Ali put their necks on the line telling the truth about islam...but from your safe little appeaser's point of view...they are all just seeking publicity!

This isn’t about appeasing Islam, this is downright idiocy... and I can’t believe the comments here on the matter.

I have no desire to appease anyone.

I also have no desire to do something ignorant that changes NOTHING for the better. It will give sympathy to Muslims, a black eye to Christians and put innocent people in harms way.

If someone REALLY wanted to do something to stop Islam then I would encourage it and would I would know that there would be unavoidable casualties.

These people are attention seekers and sympathetic to the Westboro Baptist “church” attention whores.

Why don’t these commie a$$holes come out when these a$$hole raggheads and other leftists burn the American flag or destroy all of America? Are all these commie A$$holes offended when a crudifix is submerged in a jar of piss? Anglelina would be getting stoned to death or her phuking head lopped off for all the bull$hit she does in her life. All these feminazis would be walking around with burquas not allowed to speak in public. Open you phuking eyes America.
