Outrage Over Muslim Koran Burning... but what about ours?

While the world gets angry about the possible burning of Koran copies by a Jacksonville Church, is anyone paying attention to what the US Military does to Christian Bibles? Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.

The unsolicited Bibles sent by a church in the United States were confiscated about a year ago at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan because military rules forbid troops of any religion from proselytizing while deployed there, Lt. Col. Mark Wright said.

Such religious outreach can endanger American troops and civilians in the devoutly Muslim nation, Wright said. See Chick's THE CHAPLAIN.
