Non-Muslims are not allowed to handle the quran unless they are considering converting to Islam or are being targeted for conversion. Perhaps soldiers simply want to understand the handbook of their enemy??? Via BlackFive, who asks, "Does the chaplain refuse to give the Bible to soldiers with Muslim on their dog tags?"

Also at BlackFive some sentiments that many military are now expressing, as well as many civilians who once supported the wars:
The political and military prostration to the Afghan people following the Koran-burning incident at Bagram served as the final straw for me; I once wholeheartedly supported the "war" in Afghanistan. Now, I don't think Washington gives a hoot in hell for the troops they have sent to bleed and die in Afghanistan. So unless we can elect leaders who can formulate an effective counterterrorism strategy, I now say it's time to bring the troops home.
Amen.
Sultan Knish starts his latest article with this:
After September 11 the reasonable thing to do would have been to take steps to save ourselves from Islamic terror, instead we went on a crusade to save Muslims from themselves. [big snip]
It's time that we stopped trying to save people from themselves and began trying to save ourselves. While we have been teaching good government to others, our own government has become rotten. While we have spent money on others, we are running out of money. While we have taken in the huddled masses of the world yearning to take us for all we've got, our own lives and families are in danger.
A new age of terror is here. It's time to face up to it. To stop saving Muslims from ourselves and to work to save ourselves and our kin from them.
Here in the United States: Alarming Growth Of Mosques In America Since 9/11:

The Wall Street Journal reports: US Muslim study finds jump in American mosques:
NEW YORK -- The number of American mosques has increased dramatically in the last decade despite post 9/11 protests aimed at Muslim houses of worship, according to a new study. The new Islamic centers serve Muslims who moved into the suburbs and newer immigrants from Africa, Iraq and elsewhere.Researchers conducting the national count found a total of 2,106 Islamic centers, compared to 1,209 in 2000 and 962 in 1994. About one-quarter of the centers were built between 2000-2011, as the community faced intense scrutiny by government officials and a suspicious public. In 2010, protest against an Islamic center near ground zero erupted into a national debate over Islam, extremism and religious freedom. Anti-mosque demonstrations spread to Tennessee, California and other states.
Remember, over 80% of these mosques are preaching jihad. That's 1,700 mosques in America. (continue reading at Hyscience)


















Sorry, but I cannot stomach much after the first paragraph....
My first reaction is why, precisely, are these "academics" wasting our precious oxygen supply?
