Angelina Jolie Condemns Quran Burning

Angelina Jolie, who sees the world of Islam close-up in her capacity as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N.'s refugee agency, spoke outWednesday in Islamabad, Pakistan to condemn Gainesville Pastor Terry Jones' plan to hold a Quran burning on Sept. 11.

"I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody's religious book," Jolie told reporters after visiting refugee camps in northwestern Pakistan, one of the areas hardest hit by floods.

Waters from the flood have killed more than 1,700 people and affected more than 18 million others. Jolie said that seeing as much suffering and desperation among good Muslim people, "families who struggle to take care of each other," makes the act of burning these people's holy book "all the more hateful and all the more difficult to comprehend."
