The Florida Pastor Says He's NOT Gonna Burn The Qu'Ran Today??
If this is true Fam.......I sincerely hope and pray that the Florida Pastor will keep his word and not decide to burn hundreds of Qu'Ran's later today which is the most sacred religious texts of the Muslim faith just like the Holy Bible is the most sacred text of many of us christians!
As I sat back and watched the news media outlets as well as certain government figures speak on this man's attempt to make a statement and impact about Muslims and what this would mean to the NYC Islamic Center I can't help but wonder has it really come to this in our country.....I mean really folks??
We see in other parts of the world where folks in other countries burn and desecrate the American Flag but how do you feel about watching that image of our flag burning? How does it make you feel?
If the muslim community abroad see us burning their sacred text how does that make them feel? Very angry and pissed off not only at America but for christians as well!
I sincerely hope that we haven't taken our eyes off the ball and continue to be blinded by the truth and I hope that we as a country wake up from our American infighting as it pertains to our politicians in our political system to our everyday lives as Americans of all nationalities and faiths, creeds and national origins or sexual orientations!
We as a country once believed in........LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!
I hope we can still get back to believing in our founding fathers frame of thought for this great country!
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS!

Hate and ignorance does not end. Anyone who know and has studied world religions would know that the Quran along with the Torah are almost identical to the bible. The book or religion itself is not the issue...its the people with in it. As usual its some racist white guy who is using religion to spread hate.

When this ignorant Pastor announced that he was going to burn the Qu'Ran, I was mortified. I have family that are Muslim and I've never heard them mention the Qu'Ran speaking of violence. This pastor in my eyes is ignorant. The fact that a man of the Cloth wanted to desecrate scripture that is considered holy to a specific nationality of people speaks volumes to me about his fear of the Muslim faith. How can you proclaim yourself to be a man of the word and yet resort to something as disrespectful as this???? This to me, goes along with the cross burnings and lynchings from the Civil Rights era. I'm glad that he opted not to burn it. If the shoe were on the other foot and a pastor here in NY announdes thathe was going to burn the bible, I guarantee you that this Florida Pastor would be leading a rally against it.

WHAT'S BEEF: Did Chris Brown GET PISSY With Meek Mill OVER Rihanna? + Was Chris LASHING Out At Raz B For "ALLEGEDLY" Saying He's Gay?
Chris Brown is involved in a few beefs with other industry artists right now. Get the deets on what's going on between him and Meek Mill and Raz B!
The word on the street is that Meek Mill got his verse on Chris Brown's "Don't Judge Me" dropped from the Fortune disc because Chris got pissy that Meek was hanging with Rihanna at a strip club.
Chris wasn't too pleased that Rihanna stopped by Meek Mill's party at Club Perfections last month so he bumped Meek off the disc. Over the weekend, Meek tweeted,
We shall see how this one play's out. But you know how pissy Chris can be......
And in other Chris beefs..........
Former B2K member Raz B has allegedly written a book called This Boy's Life. We say allegedly because we have not been able to verify existence of the book with the publishing company or Raz B's reps. But rumor has it that the book features explosive allegations about former B2K members (Omarion, Lil' Fizz, J Boog), Bow Wow, Ray J, Chris Stokes and Chris Brown all being gay.
On Chris the book says,
“They say you never know who knows who. Chris Brown didn’t think about that when he attacked me online. I have a friend that’s very close to Chris’ camp who told me that Chris was involved with an up and coming songwriter Andre Merritt. So when Chris started going in calling people ‘gay’ and ‘fags’ I just dropped Andre Merritt’s name. I knew it was true when he decided to shut up.”
Chris responded (his tweets were later deleted) to the alleged book saying,
If this book ever hits shelves, the fallout could be very interesting. We'll keep you posted.
Andre 3000 FILMS Jimi Hendrix Biopic + Ne-Yo & Jamie Foxx PARTY In Las Vegas
Andre 3000 is over in Dublin filming the Jimi Hendrix biopic. Get deets on the film and see Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx hosting a pool party in Las Vegas.
Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 (who celebrated his 38th birthday yesterday) began filming All Is by My Side, a Jimi Hendrix biopic, today in Dublin, Ireland.
Andre 3000 wants fans to be surprised by the film so he avoided photos so everything will be fresh when it hits the screen.
But when it hits the screen, don't expect to hear Jimi's original music. Apparently, the estate is not on board with the biopic. The estate released a statement saying,
"Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a 'biopic' in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or composition."
Andre 3000 will likely have to record covers of all Jimi songs used in the film. But hey.....isn't that what we wanted anyway?
And in Las Vegas...........
Yesterday, Ne-Yo hosted Beach Life's Rehab Pool in the Hard Rock Hotel.
He tweeted, Chill day in my hometown Vegas, sipping @Malibu_Red at Rehab Pool. Life is good! #Compound - R.E.D 9/18/12
He also paraded around with a bevy of beauties and got the crowd hyped.
Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx was the party's other host and he also hyped the crowd.

He said he isn't doing reality tv now and is focused on his new album The Masterpiece.
