Burning bibles. That's just priceless.

What a waste! They could have used them as toilet paper! Or if too glossy, wallpaper!

They forbid the use of recycled paper for the production of Qurans, because the paper might have contained something sinful, right? So if they were proper religious looneys, they would have recycled the bibles to print Quran. That ought to really piss off the locals and get things going, don't you think?

Perhaps even leave a page or two unscathed, so there'll be no doubt about what those Quran are made of.

Holy geez. WRONG ANSWER

Awesome! They should do that here in the States too, not just war zones!

Hmm, I wonder who the religious right will blame for this??

I love how people can justify releasing the prison torture pictures as something that will instigate the terrorists, but this doesn't get the same treatment; trying to convert and subvert another person's belief system.

Sometimes I really dislike our species.

Yes, just imagine if Iraq was the superpower who invaded the US under false pretences and then felt it okay to ship in Korans translated into the native yankie language for use in proselytizing the correct religion of Islam, and the one true God Allah, as opposed to the barbarism of Christianity. What if in that hypothetical scenario someone had the gall to propose we burn the Korans.

Just imagine the ramifications across the world!

This is awesome!

All those bible thumpers that wanted to burn evolution books can suck it!

Hihi, the retiered Col. has Fatwa Envy.

"Imagine the horrors if Korans had been burnt..."

Next they need all the Christians complaining about it because they are garbage also.

was that liddy england at 1:00~ praying for more prisoners to torture..

fuck the bible. it's got inspirational language, but so does the lord of the rings.. and LOTR has more to back up it's story

They should have defecated on them before burning - that would have made the smell far better.

This is interesting because the proper way to dispose of a the American flag is the burn it. Yet it's burned up in protest against America all around the world. I guess they used the same logic with the bibles then, burn them so as to properly dispose of them with dignity. Funny how that works, same action, different intentions = different results?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I'm sure Faux News has already reported that this was Obama's executive order number 666.

Holy books? They looked like books to me. I quite doubt any supernatural retribution is going to occur because of this incident, but I could be wrong!

Does this officialy make it a Holly War?

As much as I loath the burning of ANY books this seems like a non-issue to me. Just stop sending the army shit they didn't order and problem solved. Hell, if I got this much bad press for all the crap in my mailbox that I throw away I'd be public enemy nr. 1.

Now THAT is funny. You just can't make up this shit.

You'd be amazed at what I can make up.

THese guys broke the law, they potentially inflamed the war, the books SHOULD be burned.

FUCK the Christians who are crying over this. We all know that if evangelistic Muslims came here and were passing out Qur'ans written specifically to convert Christians, they would be burning every one they could find as well. The way they made them appear to have been sent by the military just shows the whole 'outcry' is fake.


And that the people on the base didn't know what they were fore is bullshit. Didn't we have a video just a few weeks ago on here of Christians gathering to pass out these books? That guy was just covering his own ass.

After googling the matter extensively over the last 10 minutes, I've found there is no agreed procedure for the disposal of bibles. Praying on this mystery for another 10 minutes, the correct ritual was finally revealed to me.

Tear out each page, and having torn them into the smallest possible pieces, proceed to tear them still smaller, eight or perhaps nine times. This biblical fluff should then be mixed with equal parts holy oil (for adherence) and sacramental wine (for color). The mixture is then poured into cross shaped molds and allowed to dry in the sun over the course of 6 days. These concentrated consecrated bricks are then piled into a silver lined cask, and buried at least 12 feet underground (to ensure that god can not escape).

Finally, the left over bindings are to be boiled for 77 hours (or until sacrosanct) and added to a special stew. This stew is then consumed by the most righteous man available. If there is contention over who is the most righteous, this can be settled by a simple duel.

To be fair, LOTR is thought to be inspired by stories from the bible, although not as overtly as the stories of C. S. Lewis.
