Marine Earns Reassignment by Passing Out "Bible Coins" in Fallujah

And people wonder why Iraqis look askance at us. We aren't in Iraq as missionaries, and this sort of action, no matter what the intent, is bound to produce anger in a country that already looks upon us as occupiers.

Never, ever ever ever ends.

Neeeever, everevereverever ends.

A part of me wonders if christianity or catholicism *itself is doomed*. One of its main tenets seems to be that it's ok TO TRY TO FORCE IT upon others and DEMAND THAT THEY BELIEVE as you do. What greater recipe for disaster exists, I cannot fathom. I cannot fathom how they think this works. The *sole and chief* indoctrination into catholicism or christianity, as WE ALL KNOW, occurs from an early age through the family, because children know no better. After that,*ALMOST ALL* hope is lost of converting anyone. I cannot fathom, cannot fathom, cannot fathom *eternally* how they think they're doing good by making people *HATE* them. Perhaps it is the will of god himself, and *HE* is destroying christianity because of the abomination that it has become. Seriously. I wouldn't be terribly surprised. Not terribly surprised at all.

ROFL! I never thought of that. Aside from wetting your bed and kissing your bunk mate, that will get out out of a combat zone quicker than flat feet.:)

They get a coin they can throw away and not accept.

Can't do the same with your head if you refuse Islam.


Islam wins the battle of the media again and we go along with it.

Yes the Marine did not use good judgement.

Our servicemember's worst enemy isn't Iraq or Osama.

It's us!!! Anything we read we take and gobble it up like little piggies. We're fools.

Its against the law in Iraq to promote Christianity.

Remember - they have laws now - called sharia. Its legal to kill someone for desecrating the Koran or insulting Allah.

Thanks George!

I thought Islam was supposed to recognize the Bible. I can't believe that the actual practice and ther preachings of Islam are two different things. The coins didn't portray the likeness of Mohammed and said nothing about Islam....positive or negative. Muslims live here in North America and in Europe and try and convert Christians all the time, why can't Christians try and convert Muslims? What about he religion of peace, love and tolerance?

The mission of the United States Marine Corps use to be "To close with the enemy and kill or capture him."

I'm not sure what it is now.

Because we have a truly secular Constitution and the ACLU to back it up.

The Iraqis have sharia and nothing like the ACLU.

The Christ-Nuts in the US love Christian sharia (whatever its called) and get mad when they don't get to force prayer on everyone.

Now hold on there cowboy! "They" have laws now?
When did that happen?

In these forum's I've heard people say the Iraqi's are under "US military occupation".

Which means by definition the US military makes the laws and enforces them?

So then if that's the case we are just providing military security and assistance to the Iraqi government correct?

Would you say that some people are over exaggerating for effect?
Then occupation means presence?

They voted on a Constitution in 2005. Where have you been?

Constitution = "law".

Of course, the US occupiers say that it does not apply to them or the mercenaries (Blackwater).

Nor does our Constitution apply to the Bushpigs.
