Angelina Jolie condemns planned Koran burning


Angelina Jolie has spoken out against the proposed burning of the Koran by a small Florida church on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. When asked about the church's plan, Jolie responded, "I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody's religious book."

Jolie is in Pakistan visiting victims of the recent flooding, the worst in the country's history. "There are people displaced by the floods and they've lost their homes. And the floodwater was as high as this ceiling when you see the mark, and I was surprised by that," Jolie said to reporters. "And their needs need to be addressed."
