A few days ago I posted an article regarding Soldier's desecration of Koran. I told a story of some "jail house Christians" destroying a bible.
Stories like this never cease to amaze me!

I have trouble commenting on it, too. A people who were nearly exterminated learned absolutely nothing from their own experiences and are perpetrating the same kind of atrocities against others that were visited upon them. And we are suppose to feel sorry for them?
I have a whole case of "The Teachings of Buddha" and can't find anyone that will take one even if I absorb the cost of shipping and/or delivery. Which in light of stories like these, doesn't really bother me. Other than the conviction that if they would just eek open those 'steel trap minds' a little bit, they might actually learn something.
The saying, "Knowledge is Power" has not been lost on the fascists of the world. They instill in their masses that even reading certain materials will pollute their mind, soul, and body forever.
So, the 'good soldiers' march ever onward in ignorance, hate, and intolerance. Good show!

Orthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments in Israel - International Herald Tribune
JERUSALEM: Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.
Or Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary material.
After receiving complaints, Aharon said, he got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students who went door to door to collect it.
The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue, he said.
The Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. But Aharon told The Associated Press that only a few students were present, and that he was not there when the books were torched. Not all of the New Testaments that were collected were burned, but hundreds were, he said.
He said he regretted the burning of the books, but called it a "commandment" to burn materials that urge Jews to convert.
"I certainly don't denounce the burning of the booklets," he said. "I denounce those who distributed the booklets."
Jews worship from the Old Testament, including the Five Books of Moses and the writings of the ancient prophets. Christians revere the Old Testament as well as the New Testament, which contains the ministry of Jesus.
Calev Myers, an attorney who represents Messianic Jews, or Jews who accept Jesus as their savior, demanded in an interview with Army Radio that all those involved be put on trial. He estimated there were 10,000 Messianic Jews, who are also known as Jews for Jesus, in Israel.
Police had no immediate comment.
