This is the world we live in! According to our leaders korans are holy and Bibles are to be burnt !

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.

They shouldn't have burned the Bible but no missionaries should be allowed in Afghanistan. We don't want them to believe that we are on a crusade to turn them into Christians.
