Sack Alexander Stewart's Law Job Now!
A BRISBANE-based lawyer and atheist who videoed himself smoking what appeared to be joints made with pages from the Bible and the Koran expects to lose his job at a Queensland university. The video, by lawyer and Brisbane Atheists member, Alex Stewart, 29, comes as international outrage continues over the proposed burning of multiple copies of the Koran by a radical Christian pastor in the US. The 12-minute YouTube video, one of more than 90 posted by Mr Stewart, shows the Queensland University of Technology-employed lawyer tearing pages from both books and using the paper to roll what looks to be marijuana cigarettes. After smoking both he gives marks out of 10 -- rating the Bible as a better burner than the Koran. In his commentary, he said people should just "get over" the burning of books like the Bible or the Koran. "I guess that's the point with all this crap," he said. "It's just a fucking book. Who cares? It's your beliefs that matter. Quite frankly, if you are going to get upset about a book, you're taking life way too seriously. And since I have been involved in YouTube I always wanted to be accepted into the Network of Evil. If you don't like my Video then you can just fuck off!" But the Queensland University of Technology, which employs Mr Stewart, is not impressed and has demanded he explain himself.
