Interesting take. How about if the soldiers are merely supplying local Christians with Arabic materials? Or Muslims who are curious? And would you agree that our soldiers are entitled to receive copies of the Koran or other religious writings in either Arabic or English when off-duty?

Naturally, I do agree that our soldiers are not entitled to be missionaries any more than they are entitled to promote racism or other ideas contrary to military policy.
