| US army burns the Bible in Afghanistan - 20 May 09 |
| 2010-09-09 |
| Al Jazeera report: US soldiers brought Bibles translated to local languages to Afghanistan and distributed them, apparently against orders not to proselytize. These activities were stopped. The Bibles were confiscated and destroyed by burning. The same institution now officially criticizes a civilian in Florida for burning religious scripture. |

| #3 I remember sitting at the DFAC in Iraq many moons ago w/our unit's chaplain (a Catholic Priest in his early 50s) and telling him the best thing we could do for the locals was drop a bunch of new testaments on them and hope it takes. Not that I'm all that religious but from a logical standpoint I'd rather deal w/a faith group that basically believes that "God is Love" and the parable of the good samaritan vice submission to God and killing its rape victims. |

| #2 BS. Even in todays army if you tried this you'd be in boiling water. |

| #1 Muslim propaganda so ludicrous it is hardly worthy of comment. Yes of course, right after we teach them to use toilet paper, read, stop buggering thier little boys and stoning thier women folk, we then introduce them to vacation Bible School. |
