Doperty's Studying the Koran
Filed under: Anglophilia > Pete Doherty
No joke.
Pete Dohertyis studying the Koran in the slammer.
Dopehead reportedly asked for an English translation of the Islam holy book after he was thrown into isolation.
A friend reports, “I’m surprised how much it has calmed him down as he was very on edge inside. He definitely seems more chilled. He’s lapping it up and really interested in it. I think it’s helping him in there.”
This HAS to be a joke, right????
Hope he learns things from the teachings that will help him lead a clean and sober life on the outside!!
But we hope he's still a mess, just a clean and sober mess!

Just Sayin'
It's Miley Day!
NO!!! Dumbass

If you must write about him. could you at least do us the favor of not showing his disgusting face? I log onto your website looking for harmless gossip and the next thing I know I'm about to vomit on my keyboard! NO MORE PICS OF DOPERTY!!!!

hjdfsdfwsd 4TH!
You need fucking sunglasses to look at his GREASY FACE!!!! EWWWWWWW!!!
lol

douche. first, fuckers.
First =]
1st
Pete who???? no one even knew who he was til he started dating Moss…so why should we care now!?!?!?! Stop writing about stupid people who we don't care about!!!! NO MORE DOPERTY!!!!NO MORE DOPERTY!!!
and as soon as he gets out and takes that first hit, he'll forget it all so, WHO CARES!?!?
Marx said religion was the opiate of the masses
(of course they didn't have TV or video games then)
We NEVER learn, do we
i agree with paige.
I am so sick of him! Nobody gives a shit. what has he done that makes him famous??????
He is so disgusting!!
he's probably smoking the Koran
HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAS BAD BREATH!!!
are you sober, perez? your stupid moralizing on how other people choose to live there lives has grown tiresome. you're taste in music is simply the worst. you are no longer interesting or relevant. go fuck yourself.
this is just so cute how the innocent fall so quick i love it
Isn't it spelled Karan? Or am I stupid?! lol Very possible…
9th??
why would it be a joke, thats very insulting perez you are just rude
Who knew he could read ???
Hello, The Greek Giant here here in my palatial LA estate sniffing four lines of pure Bolivian cocaine and making Peter Doherty's brother's cousin fetch real French Champagne, fresh blueberries, a gag and handcuffs before he is allowed one single bump as he weeps and cries.
You impoverished American bums must cease snorting cheap meath like hungry piglets and go back to work, or else you will all be evicted from your tiny shacks on May first. Meanwhile I, The Greek Giant, am fabulously wealthy and will purchase four new American 'actresses' this week for euro 69 each to tend my every need, and they are required to milk Giant sperm explosions all over their faces. That is all.
he's so gross!
i think hes hot
Well actually, Pete Doherty is very intelligent. He is very well read and an accomplished poet, so it is not surprising that he would want to read something interesting and meaningful. Plus, the Koran is a fascinating book. Why would it be a joke?
Um, perez, i love you and all but i couldn't help but feel a little bit of sarcasm in your words , i'm muslim and the correct word would be Qur'an =) gracias
Interesting…
and I always thought it was "Quaran" nor Koran.
i hope it works out and he learns from the teachings
i don't see that it's such a shock. just because he's an addict doesn't mean that he doesn't have any sort of interest in the world or intelligence. he used to be an award winning poet for god's sake.
he's an addict and an entertainer, but at least he's educated. unlike some of the braindead 'celebs' you write about. give him a break.

Re: jen – Wasn't he fucking Kate Moss?
Hopefully he will go away soon.
Maybe THAT'S how he got famous. Then, I think he smoked a lot of crack…..Now, Perez is keeping him famous.
Dear Urgayness Fag Nipple, sounds like an attention junkie to me, I mean pete not you FH.
im glad he's finally finding some peace.
He is so hot!!!
I wish he would get back together with Kate Moss… They are royalty to me.
isn't this that low-life son of a bitch who force-fed crack to his kittens? The Koran, the Bible, no matter what he reads he's still going to Hell.
There's nothing wrong with studying the Koran, and there's nothing wrong with someone who's messed uphis life trying to find redemption and educate himself. So instead of calling someone's religious affiliation a joke, how about YOU educate yourself too and read up on it?
Re: huh –
the people who actually appreciate his talents as a musician aren't remotely interested in this celebrity prison/rehab/drugs gossip about him, and apparently neither are those who don't like his music. so it's really just a pointless exercise.
Re: The Greek Giant –
fuck you
IM AN AMERICAN, BITCH!!!!
AND MY COUNTRY CAN BOMB YOUR ASS ANYTIME!!!
im a muslim and if you read Koran u'll find the spiritual peace , i swear . Its really funny , because when ur a muslim and u see others people who are into others (stupid) religions , you keep thinking "god , if they only knew they all will go to hell when they'll die but they dont know anything about it …" , ISLAM is the only true religion , ALLAH is the only god ! SO if you wanna go to paradise become a MUSLIM , its the only advise i can give you or you're gonna regret it . And for those who are going to insult ALLAH and ISLAM after reading this , may god take pity on you because i know exactly what ur gonna live and you knew it I SWEAR you would refrain doing it ….ALLAH AKBAR

It's actually Qu'ran….I'm just sayin..
What a stud-muffin…NOT. He looks like he smells like SHIOT.
ewwwww what the hell koran
this makes me sick
Re: Justme… – O.k. it's technically spelled القران or Quran or Qur'an or if you live in the 1950s Koran… but yes, you would be stupid to think it's spelled Karan. That's Donna you're thinking of…totally different.
Yeah yeah, everyone finds god in jail. Will he keep it up when he's out is the real question.
You're a fucking ass, Perez. There's nothing wrong with being open-minded about religion. Besides, if you read the QU'RAN (you can't spell worth shit) you'll find out a lot of the stuff is based off peace. Get your head out of FAUX news.
I think he was still stoned and mistakenly thought the Koran was a comic book
Re: a.j – You're a fucking dumbass. What's wrong with reading the Koran?
ive been reading your blog for 2 yrs now and have never commented on anything. this post however threw me off the edge. can u pls stop writing up about this loser?! the only reason he was famous was cause of kate moss. hes not dating her anymore! no one cares about him. seeing his repulsive face makes me gag. pls pls pls stop!!!!
OFCOURSE PEREZ HAS TO INSULT THE QURAN BECAUSE HES A FAG HE KNOWS HES GOING TO HELL. YOUR THE JOKE BABY. PPL SUPPORT YOU BECAUSE UR INTERESTING AND U REPRESENT THE SICK CULTURE WE ARE TODAY, U FREAK
wow learn how to spell Perez.
1. It's القران or Qur'an or Quran. NOT Koran. You look like an ignorant orientalist when you spell it that way. Educate yourself, Perez!
2. al-Qur'an is pretty complicated, heavy reading. It's not a bunch of stories like the Bible is, and it's not in chronological order, so I'd be pretty surprised if Pete is reading it. I mean, I don't know many crack addicts who've got that kind of patience.
it's Quran. thanks
Baby, it's Quran not Koran.
Bless his heart he's seeking the truth.
Plus I'm happy he's off the crack and onto something more spiritual.
Hopefully he'll convert, the true religion of Islam calms people down.
Hope things turn upwards for him and he does what's right.
Pete Doherty iz my hero! =oD I'd love 2 slam w/ him, that would be sweeeeeeeet!
HI PEREZ THIS IS SPELLING BEE!
Its Quran NOT Koran!
I'm afraid u will offend ur Muslim fans so PLEASE I REQUEST U to correct it!
WELL IF ITLL HELP HIM THEN THATS AWESOME
Do your homework on this one Perez.
QURAN!!!!!!!!!!!
QURAN!!!
He can read???
Re: jemma – He's a musician??? wow…..guess he would have to be to be famous and look like that….yuk!!
Re: The Greek Giant – eeerrr IDK WTF U talkin bout, METH♥ iz so much better than lame ass coke! In the words of Mr.DeNiro "Coke iz so 80's" =oP Thur U go, Meth iz in, coke iz soooo out
first it was scientology now islam. funny, they're both dangerous. islamic devotees are seeking to make the uk a muslim country. women will be abused and shackled. don't let it happen uk!
Good for him!
MashAllah! Islam is beautiful. It saves anyone who asks for saving. I am a convert myself. People of America think so poorly of Islam because of Bush, and his thirst for oil. Obviously, if he makes Muslims look bad, Americans won't mind invading their country and bombing it like crazy. Think about it. Where is Osama? Where are the weapons of mass destruction? None of that has been found. Just oil…just what he wants.
Islam is overlooked. I suggest all of you visit a mosque or pick up a Quran, or seek why it is scientifically proven as the truth. Perhaps speak with a Muslim. They are the kindest people, with such a large sense of community and beauty.
I wish Pete the best…
Re: smorf –
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
He needs a dermatologist in the worst way. Or as Number Two would say, "mole mole mole."
This guy is still alive?
I am Arabic and an expert in the English language.. KORAN/QURAN is originally an Arabic word thus there is no ONE RIGHT way to spell it in English.. Koran is right and so is Quran… google it you fucks
I'm soo proud of him, let him discover Allah in peace, if Allah is willing he will improve and quit drugs. Go Pete!!!
Man oh man, this photo of Pete is gross!! Kate Moss is a sicko for hittin that with her eyes open. YUCK!!
Re: KORAN IS THE BEST THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE –
It's people like YOU who give our religion a bad name. Only God knows who deserves hell/heaven in the end.. and if you read the Koran you'd realize it says that as long as you believe in GOD then you are on the safe side… you don't have to be a muslim just a mu'min which means "of faith"… peace
HAH! This guy will never get his shit together.
justme- yes you are stupid, perez spelled it correctly, koran.
and why do you wish hes still a mess perez. thats not a very human thing for you to say. i hope he gets better and not a mess so we don't have to see pictures of his greasy disgusting face anymore. good riddance i say.
I am a convert to Islam.
Arabic has sounds that English does not including a letter usually transliterated as "qaf" which is the first letter of the word Qur'an, meaning recitation, which is the name of Islam's holiest text. Most transliterations of Arabic script use the letter "k" to corresponds to a different letter so Koran doesn't mean anything.
I have no idea who this guy is, and reading the comments here that seems to be a positive reflection on my character. However, I am happy for him if he has in fact chosen to read the Qur'an. It is very difficult to read, especially in English, but it has a beautiful message.
There's a pretty famous song in Islamic circles about the first time one reads Qur'an.
"He'll be obliged to admit,
He'll be oliged to submit
But will he be strong enough,
to live the truth he finds?
Oh Lord, he's so afraid to read."
O Perez, would you say this is a joke if he was studying the Torah or Bible? NO. Why? because you wouldn't want to offend any Jews or Christians. Tell me why is this a joke?
the Qu'ran is the most amazing book I have ever read.
Hopefully Islam will help set Doherty straight the way it did me…
rolflmao. You've got to laugh at the ignorant knuckle dragging yanks on here desperately trying to join a cohesive sentence together.This young man(who without doubt has a substance abuse problem) is a talented musician who was educated at Oxford.
WHO CARES!!! DOPEY ON DOPE
HE OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO BE CRACKED UP
Re: KORAN IS THE BEST THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE –
A good muslim wouldn't be reading a frivolous WESTERN gossip blog, SINNER!
He looks like a child molester..
He makes me want to throw up.
Re: KORAN IS THE BEST THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE –
im a muslim and telling people that they will go to hell if they dont convert is not right! You have no right to tell people that they are going to hell. Muslims are supposed to RESPECT other religions not call them stupid! keep ure extremist opinions to yourself and stop creating a false image of islam! People cannot be forced to believe!
Please, you know there are great drugs in jail. They are suppose to be much better inside jail then on the streets. He is totally getting high on the inside.
OMG… I can't take anymore of seeing his face. That man is ugly as sin. Please stop torturing us with his picture. Gagging!
I respect that people can use a holy book to be at peace and with god, but islam scares me. there are too many "extremist" in the religion that whether you like it or not end up speaking for the majority. If there are a hundred muslims and one of them blows up a bus of people and says it is for islam's sake, it should be condemmed VERY strongly by the rest. But i still am scared. Then muslims will say "well you should examine your policies that made this person do this" that makes it seem, truly or falsely that they are all in on it. There is no majority muslim country that is truly respectful to minorities. It says in the koran to kill people not muslim "it says this in the arabic koran not the english translation btw" and it also says a man can beat his wife and women are inferior slaves basically. Islam scares me, i hope i am wrong.
You're a fucking racist Perez. I hope your balls implode Jihad style for saying that.
la ilaha ilallah!
MashAllah! InshAllah he is finding his way to the right path.
who fucking cares about this guy !!!? seriously?
Re: Peter – Yeah, but see, there are lots of Christian child molesters and rapists. And yet, Christianity doesn't seem to scare YOU, or anyone else for that matter.
Are you serious? You have a problem with some guy reading the Qur'an? Get real, Perez. You're just like all the other intolerant ignorant Americans who fear Islam. I say good for him. Maybe he will learn something.
Re: Peter – don't hope–you are wrong. I don't feel ike lecturing anymore about islam to people just look it up yourself. It is a very juste religion but human application leads to human flaws, no one's perfect so mistakes happen. Learning about islam and being at peace, and learning the truth makes the flaws evident to you. The best way to fight the extremist in all areas is to learn the truth and spread peace, this goes for all religions and not just islam. We have extremst christians (those weirdos living in a cave in russia, mormons (at times)), extremist jews (learn about what prevent politics from being efficient in israel, orthodox who debate the legality of pork more tha peace) and muslims, (everyone knows so many examples of this it pointless to repeat but in case you forgot 9.11.-saudi arabia and afghanistan are extremists nations) there are also extremists hindus the tamil tigers, sikhs and on and on. no one religion is free from guilt but hopefully people can find peace through moderation, tolerance and aceptance not hate through chauvinism, arrogance and elitism. we all have to work at finding acceptance. do unbiased research to prove your fears of islam wrong.
Maybe he'll decapitate himself.
Name a Christian nation where women have the same rights as men. Lots starting with USA.
Name a Jewish nation where women have the same rights as men. Israel.
Name an islamic country where women have the same rights as men. Can't think of a one.
may Allah guide him to the truth and silence people like you "perez."
Islam is the antithesis of hollywood and this fake world where nothing and no one is good enough and people are always chasing the acceptance of others.
In Islam the only one who matter is Allah, All-Mighty, by worshiping Him and not associating partners with the Creator! You can look like Pete Doherty and be hated by the people and loved by your Lord.
well… as a Muslim i've to say that i think its great unless he means it as a publicity thing or wut not…
but yeah the QURAN is calming
If it helps him clean up his life, then good. Who knows… maybe Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) will visit him in jail?
This is old news dude…………
Re: you idiots – THANK YOU. That's just what i thought the whole time while reading through the comments.
I am not a muslim myself but have been studying the Qu'ran really intensely during those last years and it helped me getting through some hard recovery times, too. Most of my friends are muslims.
I don't see anything wrong with Pete studying the Qu'ran. It's holding a lot of truth for everyone.
