We are a free society, they are a society of clans and tribes, who are totally indoctrinated by their religious leaders, who in many instances are their political leaders. Our business there is to stabilize the area and get their economy going. I can see where there may be some problems, with the “privately owned” bibles written in “Pushtu”. Our armed forces are not crusaders or evangelists, we are not there to build churches or introduce other religions, we are there to help combat the radicals and build an infrastructure. The last thing we want is to give them the impression that the military is there to convert them to Christianity. Want to distribute bibles in Pushtu use missionaries not soldiers.

Under the Afgan Freedom of Religion in their Constitution, this is what we would want to do if we want lasting peace. Genuine Christianity is the ONLY civilized religion. The purpose of the military is not to “convert” but they should be allowed to do this IF it is something they'd like to do.

Hey, if you want to follow Obama, that's also a choice!
