Soldiers In Afghanistan Given Bibles, Told To "Hunt People For Jesus" (VIDEO) huffingtonpost.com A U.S. church raised money to send Bibles, printed in the Pashtu and Dari languages, to American soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, a report on Al Jazeera documented Sunday night. It is against military rules to proselytize -- a regulation one of the soldiers filmed by the network readily acknowledged. "You cannot proselytize, but you can give gifts," says the soldier. It is a crime in Afghanistan to attempt to convert anyone from Islam to any other religion. "I also want to praise God because my church collected some money to get Bibles for Afghanistan. They came and sent the money out." The footage is said to be roughly a year old. The Al Jazeera report also shows a military preacher urging army parishioners to "hunt people for Jesus." "The Special Forces guys, they hunt men. Basically, we do the same things as Christians. We hunt people for Jesus. We do, we hunt them down. Get the hound of heaven after them, so we get them into the Kingdom. That's what we do, that's our business," he says. A White House spokesman referred questions to the Department of Defense, which did not immediately return a call. A military spokesman did tell Reuters, however, that none of the Bibles were, as far as she knew, ever actually distributed. "That specific case involved a soldier who brought in a donation of translated Bibles that were sent to his personal address by his home church. He showed them to the group and the chaplain explained that he cannot distribute them," said Major Jennifer Willis. "The translated Bibles were never distributed as far as we know, because the soldier understood that if he distributed them he would be in violation of general order 1, and he would be subject to punishment." President Bush created an international uproar when he referred to the "war on terror" as a "crusade." WATCH:

Its not small minded to refuse to change your morality based on the latest liberal fad. Twenty years ago, not a single liberal had thought about gay marriage. They'd have laughed at the idea. Jesse Jackson used to say "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve". Now as a good liberal, he's changed his mind on morality. He used to be anti-abortion. Changed there too. Ditto Teddy Kennedy. Ten years from now what will be the latest moral issue - polygamy, incest, transexuality, infanticide? Your guess is as good as mine, but everyone who doesn't go along will be called a hateful bigot by the children on the left.
