I have a problem with this statement. The US was founded as a Christian country, with specific statutes that prevented a state-mandated method of worship. That would be why the ten commandments were in courtrooms, "In God We Trust" is on the money, and hundreds of other examples and historical statements exist.
But what that has to do with being able to disrespect the Bible while having to honor the Koran is something only a liberal could come up with.

As for the inappropriate touching of the Koran (I assume you mean the shitting upon it and the reports that soldiers would flush it and such....) is just sinking to their level, while insulting and disrespecting everyone who worships that book, even the innocent.... and that is wrong.

It might not be how I would do it, but if it was used as a method of interrogation that resulted in our gaining intel, I applaud it. A hypothetical for you: If disrespecting the Koran saved American soldiers' lives, would you support it? Or is that beyond your level of "support for the troops?"
I also shouldn't neglect to point out that some in the US want our government to fund "works of art" like "Piss Christ" and whatever it was that had elephant dung all over a painting of the Virgin Mary. Do you see anything wrong with THAT?

How one can compare not swearing in on a Bible to the attrocities soldiers have committed against the Koran, I guess only makes sense to those who feel the world revolves around the US and have egos that believe the US is never wrong in anything we do.

If you really believe the acts soldiers may have committed against the Koran are "atrocities," it is unlikely any past or present member of any military force is going to be interested in discussing much with you. I know that statement made ME lose interest in doing so.
