There is almost no atrocity that has not been committed by Christians. The holocaust took place in a Christian nation. Churches watched the holocaust and slavery in silence and some actively supported at least slavery. What do you think the likely religion of the idiots at Abu Ghraib, or the Marines who slaughtered the women and children were? The war criminal who launched the debacle, with the blood of 150,000 to 950,000 civilians dripping from his hands---is a professed Christian. How many people HERE who engage in sick and inhuman threads on what kind of ammo kills best are Christian?? Which ammo did Jesus prefer?? What about the "life of a single sparrow" being sacred to Jesus?? HERE---American lives seem to have a special value over foreign and muslim ones---how Christian of you.

The latest Iraq Body Count: 84,040 – 91,703

And of that number, how many are Iraqis killed by terrorists? 

[rpm]

This is exactly the way to win hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.

And of that number, how many are Iraqis killed by terrorists? 

Most, it seems.  IBC doesn't discriminate that number.

It's obviously the way to get your orders changed with a PCS stateside immediately.

[Rich46yo]

Go out into the country and shoot a Koran, a bible, whatever book you want and nobody cares.

Go to a Muslim country and they will probably stone you. At the least it will imflame millions of zealots who dont have much to do with their lives other then to get inflamed.

This moron soldier should have known this, as should the morons who ratted him out. No doubt however some rat wanted their 15 mins.

"When in Rome". The first rule of serving in a foreign country. Its just a shame were trolling in jails for troops nowadays and from mountain homes with no running water and 10 hounds under the porch.

If I remember correctly, Hitler and the crazies that perpetrated the Holocaust were Atheists. 

You remember incorrectly.

Less painless than shooting onesself in the foot, I suppose.

The latest Iraq Body Count: 84,040 – 91,703

Nonsense, that is the lying US military count. They often lie---see Panama invasion and all of the civilians killed. My figure is derived from a Johns Hopkins University study.

  The bull/ horns thing is beneath response. You guys don't love your country enough to demand that we act for the good in a good and decent way. You would excuse and justify any crime. THAT is despicable and UN-American---not me.

[hubsonfire]

As a neutral party, Impakt, how can I tell that the Johns Hopkins study is correct? Are there bodies stacked like firewood in front of their office, or am I supposed to just take the numbers at face value, as I would with the US government's figures?

Dude, put down the crack pipe, you were a nutjob before your first toke.

I B C IS NOT THE US MILITARY!

Iraq Body Count is an ongoing human security project which maintains and updates the world’s largest public database of violent civilian deaths during and since the 2003 invasion. The count encompasses non-combatants killed by military or paramilitary action and the breakdown in civil security following the invasion.

Data is drawn from cross-checked media reports, hospital, morgue, NGO and official figures to produce a credible record of known deaths and incidents.

Learn something before you post.  You may come off as intelligent.

October 11, 2006
As many as 654,965 more Iraqis may have died since hostilities began in Iraq in March 2003 than would have been expected under pre-war conditions, according to a survey conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. The deaths from all causes—violent and non-violent—are over and above the estimated 143,000 deaths per year that occurred from all causes prior to the March 2003 invasion.

"The deaths from all causes—violent and non-violent" equals 654,965... from March 2003 to Oct 2006 by this report.

(2) There are some dumb works of art; and I suspect that we don't want to argue theories of aesthetics here. So, look at it from a pragmatic point of view. How many "chickens are going to come home to roost" when word gets out that our soldiers are using the Koran for target practice?? Do you think the enemy will use that for propaganda?? Like the old India "Pork and cow" cartridge greasing incident? This idiot needs to be imprisoned on pragmatic grounds---his actions are going to get others killed. Can other soldiers use the bible or images of christ for target practice?? Maybe some in the Iraqi security forces would like to use our flag?? So, there are no consequences for the bad art, and a lot for shooting the Koran.

Wow, got all that on my first cast no less.
