There have been numerous stories in the U.S. of libraries that have thrown away books and the locals find the books in the trash and are upset. Libraries in the U.S. have sent bibles and Qurans to the landfill. I am sure there are some cities in the U.S. that have incinerators so there have been times where bibles and Qurans have been burned.

All the trash at the American bases goes to burn pits. Under separation of church and state the military could not treat the religious texts any different than a mass market paperback that needs to be disposed of. If they treat the religious text differently they are establishing and recognizing a religion.

Burn pits are commonly and regularly used to get rid of ALL trash from military installations in war zones. I ran a search for other stories on this issue and they had references to the Afghans chanting death to Americans. So much for a religion of peace.

Bigger fix is to get the heck out of Afghanistan. Our presence their is doing no good. We don't need troops on the ground to control terrorists camps that might pop up. If we leave and they build camps we just drop missiles into them.
