australian lawyer smoked koran and bible

[Amby 490]

An Australian lawyer provoked controversy by posting online a video of himself smoking roll-ups made with pages torn from the Koran and the Bible.

Alex Stewart's 12 minute clip, entitled Bible or Koran - which burns best?, has now been deleted from YouTube.

Mr Stewart, who works for the Queensland University of Technology, holds up the two religious texts before ripping them apart and lighting the rolled up pages.

At one stage he inhales deeply from one of the roll-ups before blowing out the smoke and commenting: "Holy".

It came just days after an American Pastor's threat to burn the Muslim holy book caused worldwide outrage.

"With respect to books like the Bible and the Koran, whatever, just get over it," Mr Stewart said in the footage.

"People do this stuff all the time and if people get really upset about this then they're taking it far too seriously."

Mr Stewart, a member of an atheist group in Brisbane, has begun a period of leave following a meeting with his employers.

He insists he wasn't smoking drugs in the video but had sprinkled grass cuttings into the rolled up pages.

"The university is obviously extremely, extremely unhappy and disappointed that this sort of incident should occur," said Queensland University of Technology vice-chancellor Peter Coaldrake.

The ink from the Quran/Bible pages will supply his brain with wisdom for years to come.
