Angelina Jolie Condemns Proposed Quran Burning

Posted by Karen Benardello On September - 10 - 2010 3 Comments

Angelina Jolie, who serves as a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Goodwill Ambassador, recently visited Pakistan to draw attention to the flood-stricken country. While there, the Academy Award-winning actress condemned a Florida church that plans to burn the Quran to mark the anniversary of 9/11, the Associated Press is reporting. After Jolie visited Pakistan refugee camps, she told reporters in Islamabad that she hardly has “the words that somebody would do that to somebody’s religious book.”

Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center, an evangelical Christian church in Gainesville, is organizing the burning. He has repeatedly said that despite warnings from U.S. officials, he and his congregation intend to move forward with the burning.

With almost 21 million Pakistanis affected by the floods, Jolie is standing behind them. Not only is she supporting their religious book, but she’s also helping with the flood relief, saying “I was shocked especially by how high the flood waters went.”

Don’t Burn Bible!

I appeal to all Muslims around the world not to burn Bible, even if they burn English Translation of Quran, However they can’t burn Quran, there no one in this world can Burn Quran, coz it is not possible and there are 10,000,000. people memorized complete Quran in its original language.

The word “Quran” means “that which is recited; or that which is dictated in memory form.” As such, it is not a book, nor is it something that reaches us only in written form. The documentation in writing about the Quran has been preserved in museums throughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in England. Keep in mind also; The Quran is only considered “Quran” while it is in the recitation form, not in the written or the book form. The word for what is written and held in the hand to be read by the eye is called “mus-haf” (meaning script or that which is written down).

What is recited in Quran?

Thereupon she pointed to him. They said, 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' Jesus said, 'I am a servant of GOD. HE has given me the Book, and has made me a Prophet; 'And HE has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me Prayer and almsgiving so long as I live; 'And HE has made me dutiful towards my mother, and has not made me arrogant and graceless; 'And peace was on me the day I was born, and peace will be on me the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised up to life again.' That was Jesus, son of Mary. This is a statement of the truth concerning which they entertain doubt.”—Qur'an, Surah 19:30-35

It should be stated at the outset of this work, which Muslims do not seek to put down or desecrate the Holy Bible. It is a matter critical matter of faith for Muslims to believe in the original revelations that came down to Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus, just as it is important for Muslims to believe in the revelation of the Quran that came to Muhammad, peace be upon him. The key word here however, is “original.” As we all know the origin of the Bible is clouded with centuries of copying, translating and passing down information, now long lost with only copies of manuscripts remaining to remind us of what once was the Bible.

Thanks for Angelina for her understanding of the humanity.
Quraan has nothing to do with 9/11. If some moslim men were used by agents from The christian or jewish nations what the hell to do with Holy Quraan. It is like burning mother, for son shitting on the bed. Should it happen on earth where humanity exists. If somebody justifies burning is correct, what Afgans, Iraquis, Palastinans should do for what is done to them, killing millions, destroying their property, raping women and creating havoc in the region. US is testing its modern war machinery and weapons. Why the innocents be punished for somebody else's sins. Pathetic, I would request all those who have a feeling of humanity to refrain from violence,hatred and read quraan to learn the way of life.
