U.S. MILITARY Says, ‘Burning Qur’ans BAD’ ‘Burning Bibles GOOD!’ 2009: US military confiscates and burns Bibles in Afghanistan, 2010: U.S. Military tells pastor not to burn Qur’ans in America. One would almost think there’s a Muslim running the country. CNN 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. “The decision was made that it was a ‘force protection’ measure to throw them away, because, if they did get out, it could be perceived by Afghans that the U.S. government or the U.S. military was trying to convert Muslims. Troops at posts in war zones are required to burn their trash, Wright said. US military confiscates and burns Bibles in Afghanistan (video)

I despise the hijackers of the US Gubmint. It's no longer "ours." It's theirs.
