Why U.S. Armed Forces burned Bibles and where it leads...

Imam Kenneth-Ishmael-Mohammed:

>>Muslims see the Koran as essentially being divine, and not simply a book, while Christians see the Bible as being a book, and not simply divine

Absolutely immaterial. Further, you state the two views as if they have an inverse relationship...which is not the case.

Two strikes: immaterial, and untrue.

Imam Kenneth-Ishmael-Mohammed:

>>and the key reason the Bibles in Afg were burned: they were NATIVE-LANGUAGE Bibles, in a country where soldiers are FORBIDDEN to proselytize

1) The soldiers aren't forbidden to evangelize because Afghanistan doesn't allow it (I'm willing to bet the soldiers eat pork, for example). Strike three (one out)

2) Does it not bother you that a soldier's right to free speech, a freedom he is supposedly fighting to preserve, is denied him completely?

Imam Kenneth-Ishmael-Mohammed:

>>You do NOT send them to soldiers, but rather, to MISSIONARIES, who are free to distribute AND proselytize.

A mother may send her son touching letters while he is in Afghanistan...does he cease to be her son while he is in Afghanistan?

I happen to have more Bibles than I need at home...one reason is to have one available to share should the need arise. Am I now a missionary?

Imam Kenneth-Ishmael-Mohammed:

>>Instead, it sounds like the gov't loves to burn Bibles, which isn't true.

That wasn't the message at all. It was that America shows preference to Islam.

Just for clarification, having been deployed to Iraq which falls under the same General Order #1 restrictions as Afghanistan, Soldiers are forbidden from proselytizing.

Just FYI.

I know that this is a stale thread, but this video confirms suspicions that I've had for years now: the real challenge facing Christendom is really not the Rob Bell pomos (post-moderns). It's Islam. Don't get me wrong, the pomos are wolves who do harm to many, but the message they promote is basically, "You're great and every natural desire you have is given to you by God. So go for it!"

In other words, the pomos are given over to all of their own lusts, and they're work is to justify themselves in their lusts and lead others to follow them. It seems to me that a culture given over to its lusts will simply self-destruct under the awful weight of those lusts.

Islam is very different, though. It calls men to something higher than their own lusts. It gives men work to do and a battle to fight. And muslims are fighting that battle in the Western world and winning. The comments from Obama and Hillary, who are very much pomos themselves, are simply a demonstration of a people with conviction (muslims) colliding with postmoderns who hold no convictions apart from their own lusts. You watch, the pomos will give at every turn.
