Flashback Video: Bibles Burned by U.S. Government May 2009
I mentioned 2 days ago that the MSM is ignoring the burning of Bibles in recent history, among other things, while feigning outrage over a planned Koran burning event that has since been cancelled: Everyone Up In Arms About Koran Burning, But Say Nothing Of Christians in Gaza Who Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosses.
From that prior post I asked “Is there a single “flashback” link to Muslims burning Bibles and crosses in Gaza in 2007? … How do these people show outrage towards one idiot guy here in the US burning his own copies of the Koran, while ignoring much worse going the other way in many other places? How about reporting some more about our own Army forced under Obama’s control to burn Bibles? How about the NC church that burned Bibles last year? Last year from Jihad Watch: Pakistan: Jihadists attack historic church, burn Bibles, destroy altar and cross — police reluctant to investigate. Recall that even right now, Muslims are building a mosque on top of a Christian graveyard in Pakistan. Where’s the outrage over those incidents?”
Well, some in the media at least mentioned that Obama had our military burn Bibles last year. And all over Facebook yesterday I saw this flashback video of that sorry act last year:
The YouTube caption reads:
CNN Reports: U.S. Military Burns Bibles In Afghanistan To Stop Proselytizing By Evangelical Christian U.S. Troops To Muslim Population
Not a whole lot of MSM reporting on this last year, and far short of their obsession this last week of a Koran burning event that won’t even happen.
• Our own State Dept.: Burning Koran same as killing thousands on 9/11
A bit late for an April fool’s joke. But this is no joke. Wait. I take that back.
• Dearborn Muslims will protest Koran burning anyway, even though it’s been cancelled
One idiot guy wanted to burn his own Korans. Outrage ensued.
• Video: Ground Zero Mosque Imam threat: Build this victory mosque as a trophy for terror or face the wrath of radical Islamists
Remember that this mosque right at ground zero in New York was billed as a cultural center…

CAJ note: we do not encourage the Florida pastor who wishes to burn the Koran, any more than we would the Westboro church members who heckle mourners at military funerals, or people who burn the American flag as an expression of protest. We do honor their rights under the First Amendment of our Constitution. But the demonizing of Pastor Terry Jones by official Washington, as well as the pressure placed upon him to stop his planned protest, speaks profoundly to us. This is not being done, as the official line goes, in order to demonstrate our nation’s religious tolerance. The pressure from Washington is about the very reasonable fear of Islam.
Demonize members of Tea Parties or Christian denominations? Burn Bibles and American flags? Trash Israel? Sure…you have a constitutional right to do so and won’t hear a peep from the liberal Left.
Burn a Koran? You are a crazy, intolerant hater of “the religion of peace”…
Our point of view is more articulately expressed by Michelle Malkin here. [Link corrected.]
