#1 Wow, what a puzzle! I mean, you're making people decide between a "god" who demands submission and a God who shows love. Between a leader who felt himself entitled to special perks from his people and a leader who felt himself obligated to serve and sacrifice for his people. Between a God who demands you give all for him, and a God who gave all for you.

Wotta choice. No wonder the Muslims claim the disciples got it wrong, the bible is corrupted, and that God can't POSSIBLY be that good.

#2 Al Qaeda is missing its chance to scatter bullet-riddled Korans and religious coins all over Iraq just to raise hell.

#3 This Marine violated his orders against prosletyzing in uniform, which have been in place for a long time prior to our entry into Iraq.. Moreover he took advantage of the constraints placed on Fallujans, who have to go through an entry control point manned by armed US troops, to do so.

He freely joined the service and swore an oath to obey legal orders. And when his term of service is over, he's free to leave and become a missionary if he wants to.

The commanders are right on this one.

#6 And this is different from the Muzzies shoving a Koran under your nose and screaming?

What part of 'U.S. military regulations prohibit religious proselytizing' do you not understand?

#7 I would say something like:

"I don't read Arabic and had NO idea what those things said. My crazy cousin from Kansas sent them to me and told me they were good luck charms and she wanted me to give them to the locals. I was just trying to be nice."
