Angelina Jolie Speaks Out Against Quran Burning

Angelina Jolie has spoken out about a Florida church’s threat to burn copies of the Quran to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

“I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody’s religious book,” the 35-year-old actress shared while on a trip to Pakistan to raise awareness about the disastrous floods.

Angie also spoke out about the floods and the lack of media attention about the devastation.

“There’s lots of speculation about why this one has not gotten the attention it deserves,” she shared. “Even all of the wonderful coverage … is not getting the response that usually it’s able to get.”

Book burning is a barbarous act, doesn’t really matter that it’s a religious book so I couldn’t really agree more.

So glad she’s speaking out against this stupid man’s stupidity!! Did he burn Bibles when Timothy McVeigh blew up the Fed. building in Oklahoma? No. He not only is blatantly ignorant but his ignorance is putting our troops overseas at terrible risk. More people – religious leaders, celebrities, politicians, CEOS, small business owners, teachers, retailers, everyday people should stand up for religious tolerance.

It makes me sick to be a Floridian, thinking that one nutcase is going to to abuse his power as a Reverend to burn someone else’s holy bible, as a “message”. The problem with that is that it’s not just terrorists that follow the Qur’an. I have friends that follow that, and are some of the most open-minded people on the planet and condemn terrorists for using their holy bible as a means to excuse their hatred. It’s an attack on them too, as much as terrorists.

Why not burn the Bible in protest of this Reverend, on Christmas? See how much he likes it when people burn his religion and beliefs. I find it so hard, as a more spiritual than religious person, to respect everyone’s religions, when it’s people like this whose actions speak louder than words, for an entire religion.

Regardless of whether she’s a democrat or a Republican she’s a fake. As far as burning the Quran … the only reason why I see it wrong is that it will piss off the Quaida’s both in the Middle East and the sleeper cells in the country. Didn’t anyone learn from 9/11? If we piss them off they attack.

Burning their book will not solve anything, they will probably create more hatred.

I want to make this point clear I think burning the Quran is a deplorable act and I in no way shape or form support it. It will solve nothing
However, where is this kind of outrage when the people in other countries burn the American flag. Why is no one speaking out about that? That is our symbol of freedom and no one seems so upset when they burn it.

In my eyes Angelina Jolie did Jennifer aniston a favor by exposing brad Pitt for the Cheater that he is. Is she stuck with six kids? Didn’t think so. Angelina is stuck with six is and a cheater. Yes, once again bradnhas been exposed as a cheater. He cheated on his ex wife and now he’s cheating on he Mother of his children. Surprised?

As usual, all the lefties come out of the woodwork to support the Muslims. Why is it that Muslims are the only group that is not allowed to be offended? You can insult Christians and burn the Bible; you can insult Jews…but, don’t dare offend a Muslim, that’s not allowed.

Europe is already beginning to lose its culture and is turning Muslim, very slowly, and the same will happen to America. These idiots on the left think if we appease the Muslim community and just be nice to them, maybe they won’t attack us. By the time they realize what’s going on, it will be too late.

I don’t support the burning of the Koran, but, why don’t these celebs shout as loudly when it’s Christianity or Judaism that is being attacked?
