But destruction or desecration of the Koran is a courts martial offense.

I would guarantee that there is no prohibition about converting Christians to Islam in Afghanistan.
FWIW, no soldier can convert a muslim. No Christian is capable of converting a Muslim to Christianity. That is the sole province of the Holy Spirit.
Let's see if the Military brass is willing to arrest God. They can destroy the pages, but they can't destroy the Word.

Amen, P-Marlowe. God can reach them, and has, without Bibles. Shame on those who burned God’s Word.

He broke the rules. Granted the bibles should have been confiscated and sent back, not destroyed.

He broke the rules.
As I understand it, his congregation back home broke the rules. He brought the bibles to the chaplain to ask what to do with them, and acted correctly.
To: swmobuffalo
He broke the rules.So did Jesus. So did Paul. So did Peter. So did John.
Granted the bibles should have been confiscated and sent back, not destroyed.
We should not be sacrificing our soldiers to protect a government that prohibits Christians from being Christians.

I’m wondering how the Church shipped the Bibles? If you declare multiple religious books or tracts it is supposed to be stopped by the post office.

The NEW* Great Commission:
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; except where forbidden by local governments, or possibly perceived as offensive.”
* To comply with new federally mandated guidelines.

Because the First Amendment is all about preventing religious practice.

Sounds like the Cold War where Christians were smuggling bibles into officially godless countries of the Soviet Union and its satellite countries.
I thought we frickin’ won!

A pic of a Koran being “shot” at in the internet, and the FBI were swarming all over Chattanooga a few years ago...
IMO the Bibles should have been gathered up and shipped to a "missionary" group for their use and distribution. Not for any US Mil group to use for "Evangelical or Missionary" purposes.
US Mil groups are there to break things and kill the enemy.
End of lesson.

There was a man named “Andrew” who used to smuggle Bibles into Russia...
several times God blinded the eyes of the border guards when they searched his VW etc...
Although 100s of Bibles would be all over the car, they didnt see a one...
and he would get into the country with his whole load of the Gospel of Peace...
To: Tennessee Nana
I'd like to know the method the Military used to "destroy" these Bibles.
I'd also like to know the punishment that a soldier would be given if he gave the same treatment to a copy of the Koran.
I suspect that any soldier who dared to desecrate a Koran would serve time in Leavenworth, but a soldier who desecrates a bible would be promoted.
