Military burns unsolicited Bibles

American Military personnel burned bibles rather than pass them on to Afghans. I wonder if this would have happened under the Bush Presidency?

Such religious outreach can endanger American troops and civilians in the devoutly Muslim nation, Wright said. "The decision was made that it was a 'force protection' measure to throw them away, because, if they did get out, it could be perceived by Afghans that the U.S. government or the U.S. military was trying to convert Muslims," Wright told CNN on Tuesday.

Something tells me yes.
