Anti-Christian Big Media Pundits act like a bunch of vampires reacting to Light-of-Day or simple Crucifix!
When they could be focused on more important issues, such as smearing Sarah Palin!
>>>ABC with its 3 so-called journalist on the job, act like it’s the crime of the century
My initial reaction was “So what” but thinking about it, yes it’s an actual story. And the verses should be eliminated.
Using this in Muslim lands gives the taliban “proof” to the argument we are crusaders waging war on Allah. ‘Tricking” Muslim soldiers to use these sights just makes it worse.
The Brits were nearly expelled from India by a mutiny of their native troops when the story got around that British army ammunition was tainted.
“the introduction in 1857 of the `new Enfield rifle’
with its distinct ammunition, which required the bullet to be `bitten before loading’. Rumours that the grease used on the bullets was either from the fat of cattle or pigs, which either proved `sacred to Hindus’ or `pollution to Muslims’, was interpreted as attacking at the core of the Hindu and Muslim religious beliefs. These rumours unlike
those regarding the conversion to Christianity and dismantling of the caste system, did prove to have a factual basis, as the British government `withdrew the objectionable grease’. This belated action proved futile as the damage had already been done.”
We might want to avoid such errors of history.
