Vart tog Gud vägen i Afghanistan?

Kathleen Johnson skriver läsvärt om den påtvingade religiositeten inom den amerikanska armén i The New York Times.
I used to believe that perhaps these commanders did not realize the harm they were causing to those that did not share their faith, but I later came to believe they knew exactly what they were doing. To commanders like these, there is nothing more important than compelling others to share their faith, through command authority, peer pressure, or any other means that suits their purpose. The real irony is that commanders like these truly believe they have the duty and right to force their faith on others and when that “right” is impeded, they see it as an infringement to their religious freedom.

Georg W Bush beskrev anfallet mot Irak, som ett korståg, så det är väl ett av skälen till att kristna i Irak idag förföljs som aldrig för.

Liknelsen med korståg var inte så dum. Vi samlar ihop en stor arme och reser långt bort under buller och bång. När vi fått frälsning drar vi oss tillbaka och låter några få försvara sig mot alla de vi retat upp.
