Bibles.

This is coolbert:

Thanks to CNN for this story, through Robert Spencer and JihadWatch.

[previously also covered on the Michael Medved radio talk show too!]

An "incident" as reported on Al Jazerra Arabic television has come to closure? The type of "incident" that can inflame the local Islamic population of Afghan and put American servicemen and women in grave peril!

"Military burns unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan "

Story Highlights:

* "Unsolicited Bibles [a dozen Bibles to be exact!] sent by U.S. church were confiscated about a year ago"

* "The Bibles were printed in two most common Afghan languages"

* "Military feared they could be used for proselytizing, which is forbidden to troops"

* "Military didn't want to risk any distribution of the Bibles and angering Muslims"

IT MUST BE MADE VERY CLEAR WHAT HAS OCCURRED HERE!! Christian Bibles, sent UNSOLICITED to an American serviceman serving in Afghan, have been confiscated and burned.

NO attempt was made to pass out the Bibles, NO attempt was to proselytize [convert] a local, and NO Afghan was even been reputed to HAVE EVEN SEEN THEM!!

BUT THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE? JUST THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE BIBLES, WRITTEN IN THE LOCAL LAGNUAGES, THE ENTIRE MATTER REPORTED TO THE ISLAMIC WORLD, GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT "SOME SORT" OF HIDDEN AGENDA WAS AT WORK HERE??

As I have said many times before, the U.S. military must not tread heavy in Afghan. Even the slightest rumor, or a single glance of the wrong sort in the wrong direction at the wrong time, can cause an immediate reaction resulting in bloodshed!!

Causing the locals to turn on you with a surprising vehemence and anger - - as it did with the British - - 1842!!
