  • First Your Army destroys a country, based on LIES, and than opens BROTHALS(bases) in iraq to torture and rape iraqis .After that u send in missionaries to do aid work and spread ur faith.What is this? what r u people?

    Watch the documentry it is about American missionary activities in iraq? talban raped the rapist , that is tit for tat ,eye for an eye , just as the bible says.But it is not true.

  • In one of the footage a us Lt says:

    "The special forces guys - they hunt men basically. We do the same things as Christians, we hunt people for Jesus. We do, we hunt them down," Lieutenant-Colonel Gary Hensley, the chief military chaplain in Afghanistan, tells the soldiers.

    Now can you digest the lie of us spokesman ?

    No...US. and also other Christians use lie as a tool.

  • "Peace deal crumbling in Pakistan"....Who would have guessed it? Who would have thought that the Taliban would go back on their word being so religious and all? I forget(just kidding)...Could some Muslim re-aqquaint me with the definition of "Hudna"?

  • This comment directed @ AJ's story "US troops urged to share faith in Afghanistan - 04 May 09":FACT: It was an incomplete story. NONE of the bibles mentioned in the story were EVER given to ANY Afghans. The #1 directive for our AFs overseas is No Proselytizing. None was done. AJ's story about it was meant to foment negative public opinion in the Muslim world. Bad Job AJ. If you intend to cover a story, cover it completely. No Bibles Left The Church! None Given Out To Afghans! End of Story!

  • wideawake123 is Fundamentalist Christian who lies and post garbage...However, he can be quite entertaining.

    Of course LYING is ok for Christians to do as long as they are doing it for Jesus/god/ghost.

    I like "AJ's Story" LOL!

  • I'm sorry troll, I Have no "Skydaddy". I'm not religious at all. I'm an independant conservative. Learn the difference, then when you post lies about people, you can tailor them to their ideology and you wont look so stupid when you do so. Just for the record, Skydaddy7's opening salvo: A manufactured lie used for ad hominem directed at me. You might want to tone down the hate in your debate technique SD, it serves no purpose and makes you look bitter and desperate.

  • So why would they give them out as gifts anyway? I'm guessing these guys didn't really think it through. Or it's some kind of cultural exchange kind of thing, like "hey here's a holy book for you, take it as a gift, bridging the gap in cultures" kind of stuff.

    What I have yet to hear is whether or not Afghanis object to it. While the military has no business spreading religion, what I would like to hear is whether or not Afghans feel like the US is forcing them to accept them.

  • You know your president has really fucked up his "war on terror" when the Taliban is about to overrun Pakistan and still gathers strength in eastern afghanistan.

    Hell, the US invasion was the best thing to happen to the taliban. Now they'll control two countries instead of one.

  • Now these Christians crusader are spreading their religion on the barrel of the GUN.That is disgusting.

    Just think, what if we go to a Christian country, occupy it and that load our Holy book in a tank and go to some village or city and start distributing it. These people are hypocrites to the bone.

  • I know Al Jazeera is a pro-Islam network, but this Bible story is just stupid. The soldiers are not forcing anyone to read or even accept a Bible, they are just handing them out as gifts. When it comes to Afghanistan, maybe Al Jazeera should focus on the real religious extremist.

  • It is illegal for US Military to be giving such gifts...Not only that, the US Military has no business talking about religion period! I am sick of it! I had to deal with the my commanders pushing Christianity on me and others while I was in...So, I know that is what they are doing to Afghans.

    There is no place for this behavior in a secular military, PERIOD!

  • What is wrong with talking about religion? Forcing religion on somebody is obviously wrong but handing someone a Bible? The Afghans could just say no or even throw the Bible away.

  • THE US MILITARY CANNOT DO THIS!!

    It is not whether you think they can it is illegal for them to be doing this, PERIOD!

    The US Military has a mission and religion is not part of it, PERIOD!

    Seriously, the end of the story!

  • The US Military isn't doing this, it is just a handful of soldiers. Just because you join the army doesn't mean you loose the right to practice religion.

  • It is very clear you do not understand anything about the US Military. The problem with religion, Christianity, in the US Military is widespread...These few soldiers just got caught.

    Those soldiers have no business even having those Bibles let alone passing them out...Its ILLEGAL!

  • "Those soldiers have no business even having those Bibles"

    When did the military say you cannot even have a Bible as a soldier?

  • Those soldiers can't read those Bibles...Those Bibles have one purpose and that is to be used to spread Christianity to Afghans and that is ILLEGAL!!

    YOU ARE JUST ARGUING TO ARGUE...I find it very hard to believe you are that ignorant to understand this.

  • "YOU ARE JUST ARGUING TO ARGUE...I find it very hard to believe you are that ignorant to understand this. "

    You are the one that can't understand that there is nothing wrong with handing someone a Bible. Freedom of religion is a right to all people, everywhere.

  • "Nothing wrong with handing someone a Bible"??????????????? If it were not against Afghan Law and against US Military Law then it would be OK...You are very NAIVE! If you think the freedoms you enjoy in the US apply everywhere then you need to educate yourself!

  • Article 18 of the UN's universal deceleration of Human Rights:

    "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

  • I live near Ft Hood, Texas and have a camouflage covered copy of the New Testament that soldiers get. It is not against any law that I know of and I don't recall it being a problem when I was in the army but that was decades ago.

  • Well, the locals are hardly going to convert if you force it upon them. What these soldiers have done is shameful. How dare they think that they are correct and other people wrong?

    There is also no such thing as independent media but to make unfounded accusations at any news organisation is reductive in my opinion

  • "How dare they think that they are correct and other people wrong?"

    What are you talking about, everyone in the world believes their religion is correct and the others are wrong.

  • The US Military has no business dealing with religion, PERIOD! It is not their mission nor is it legal.

    Plus, they are in a position of power and they know what they are doing by pushing their myths on others...Simply WRONG!

  • Just because you are in the military does not mean you no longer have the right to discuss your religion. They are not forcing people to read at the barrel of a gun, they are just opening the Afghans to a different faith that many have not been exposed to. What is Simply WRONG are the radicals in Afghanistan forcing their own religious laws on others.

  • There certainly is an intrinsic contradiction at the heart of a religion if it promotes itself as correct and all other denominations as false. I think what we should look for is tolerance as opposed to education or 're-education.' As for believing that one is correct about god etc. without an iota of proof, that is simple stupidity put under the banner of "faith."

  • "There certainly is an intrinsic contradiction at the heart of a religion if it promotes itself as correct and all other denominations as false."

    Where is the contradiction?

    "I think what we should look for is tolerance as opposed to education or 're-education"

    Passing out Bibles are not an attempt to educate people, it is to expose them to another faith besides their own. The intolerance comes from those who kill anyone who disagrees with their beliefs i.e. the Taliban.

  • No bible left the church 98nafets...This is a moot argument. American Soldier weren't handing out bibles to Afghans...Not even 1. They discussed it. That is all they did. Discuss it. They were reminded that Army Regs. Strictly Forbids it, so the Bibles, which were'nt Gov. Property, were left in the Box. AJ should have reported that.

  • @NekroStevo...No Bibles were handed out. The AJ story is incomplete. What the soldiers did, and are shown doing is discussing handing out bilingual bibles that were sent by one of the soldiers churches to Afghans.(discussion) None were handed out to Afghans, as it violates Army Regs, and the soldiers were actually recorded acknowledging that fact. They did nothing wrong, or "shameful". I make no accusation, but I will observe that AJ should have concluded with these very pertinent facts I state.

  • "No bibles were handed out "

    is what Us spokesman in Afghanistan says.

    It is not true.Everyone knows that it was done in Iraq by Christian missionaries under the protection of us army and the same is being done here in Afghanistan.Korean missionary drama in Afghanistan is not that old.

  • @ Lost world...No bibles were handed out...period. Not "according to USspokesman in Afghanistan"... None were handed out. Produce an Afghan recipient of one. Show me an Afghan who has a bible courtesy of these soldiers if you can. I assure you, if they existed, AJ would have produced them, and shown how that bible caused someone to die unneccessarily. "Everyone knows"...isnt a substitute for facts.(It's "hearsay") Missionaries arent soldiers. Talibans Raped and Beheaded Kor. Missionaries.

  • You can google and find the documentry about missionary activities in iraq, printing and distributing bible under us army protection, AND YOU WILL ALSO KNOW like everyone else.

    Koreans were either ki-lled or held by tal-iban but not raped like what us army do.

  • I quoted you the the us army Lt.

    From his statement you can easily understand the nature of their activity.

    It was us army colonel in afg. who denied such activity.

  • "Missionary activities"...Tom Fox was a missionary. He tended tto he sick and wounded civilians of Iraq. He was executed by the Islamist jihadists. Do you even know what missionaries do?(They do much more than preach) All proselytizing going on in Iraq is being done by Christian Iraqis. That's what the reports say. You are entitled to your own opinion, you aren't however entitled to your own set of facts. The Taliban RAPED some of the Korean missionaries, it's a matter of Fact.

  • If you want i can send you the link.

  • You can search right here on YouTube:Iraqi Christians-Kurdish Cristians-Christian conversion in Iraq.. You wont find a single incidence of American Soldiers converting Muslims to Christianity. None. The nature of their activity is apparent in what happened. No Bibles Were Given Out. Read the Huffington Post article. Why would They lie? They Hate the military. You are beating a dead horse because AJ did an incomplete story. They omitted the part where its revealed that US Army regs were followed.

  • The Documentary is coming out that will once again make you eat your words...Almost everything you say is a twisted version of reality or simply made up!

    I kinda feel sorry for you as you always have to live in this fantasy bubble.

    LOL!!

  • Yes...I'm sure you are working feverishly on it(You and Michael Moore)... and we know how I twist the truth by how you all posted links to photos or AJ videos of Iraqis, or Afghans showing off the Bibles given to them by the US Army.

    You should feel sorry for me that I have trolls like You who insist on making up lies about me to attack me, and insult and defame me personally. It seems the only rebuttals I receive are:"Everyone Knows", "just wait", and "You/He are/is a...". That's just Weak.

  • Watch this and you will also see the real missionary work and their crusade in iraq. Just watch it ,it is not Alex jones..ok

    /watch?v=2-jLUlG_lRc

  • You will also notice one filthy FACT about them.

    They do everything to disguise themselves as iraqis.

  • I saw an Op-Ed piece with no bonafides. I saw people rendering opinions about what was going on. Again, you are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. If I say IMHO, You are a(), is that fact? I see some guy in a turban saying "they are stealing our Muslim heritage" thats his own opinion. Theres 100s of videos here showing the slaughter of Iraqi Christians by Muslims. You think your video means a thing in the face of That? Do you deny the slaughter of Iraqi Christians by Muslims?

  • Whatever, You wanted fact i gave you the fact.

    If iraqis have done somethings IN REACTION to the destruction and occupation of their country to the people of another faith.,i do not deny it or support it but than it is another story and reaction.And COMPARED TO MUSLIMS , IRAQI CHRISTIANS HAVE FACED NOTHING.

  • Last word. The Christians slaughtered in Iraq by Muslims were all Iraqi Arab Christians before we got there. The Jews slaughtered in Iraq in the 40s...were also Iraqi Arabs. That's Arabs killing Arabs. But Arab Jews aren't killing Christians and Muslims, and Iraqi Christians aren't killing Muslims and Jews. It's Arab Muslims who are doing the killing. Put that in your Hookah and puff a while. Good day.

  • Before u got there, there was a conflict among the muslims,not muslims and christians.You r a one big liar, but than i know u r a christian so it really does not matter.Christians are basically liers etc and it is all forgiven.

  • And i dam care about the jews or anything that happens to them .

  • Before we got there and ever since Muslims have killed Hundreds of thousands of Other Muslims "fisabiallah". Your attempts to smear me and label me dont change the facts. The Taliban populated mass graves with Afghans. Now they are 3days march from Islamabad. Arab Muslim terrorist at one point were killing Muslims at a rate almost equal to Saddam. I know its illogical to try to reason with you but think of this as a family intervention. When Muslims stop slaughtering their brothers, we'll leave.

  • Who r u to arbitrate difference between muslims?

    Stop talking about mass graves, you people have destroyed muslim cities and countries.How many villages in Afg. have u destroyed and turned into graves ,Using all illegegal weapons on them?Now u r concerned about muslims killing muslims.

    Why donot u go and tame "LODRDS RESISTANCE ARMY" killing hundred of thousands of people in the name of ur LORD?

    Personally I am done with ur rubbish thank u for enlightening me.

  • The answer to all your qestions is: Not nearly as many as Muslims have.

    You want to find Slave Markets in the 21st century? Look in the Muslim world. You want to find religious conversion @ gunpoint? look at Muslims. Legal pedophilia? Muslims. You spew hate at me for point out a poor job of reporting by AJ but in your mind theres no problems in the ME that US leaving, and wiping Israel out wouldn't fix. We aren't fighting in Pakistan, but the Taliban is killing Pakistanis there. Think about it.

  • @98nafets: The soldiers didn't hand out any bibles to the Afghans, not a single one. They discussed it, but the US Military Code of Conduct specifically prohibits it...So they didn't "hand them out as gifts." That's what's wrong with the story by AJ. At least when the Huffington Post reported the story, they included the fact that no bibles were handed out, as per Army Regs. This is just more grist for the anti-US mill courtesy of AJ's incomplete report. And AJ's focus on the Taliban is "Pro T".
