Doperty's Studying the Koran

Filed under: Anglophilia > Pete Doherty

peteyd.jpg

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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    39

    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.

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

    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.

  55. Anne says – reply to this


    55

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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

  77. Muslim person in scarf says – reply to this


    77

    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."

    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.

    93

    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.

    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.

    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.
