Via The Dish, a suggestion from Richard Miniter for how the U.S. military could calm things down in Afghanistan following the Quran-burning controversy:
Passing out Qurans to Afghan civilians, if done reverently, would work to build trust and restore order.
…and I’m confident no one in the United States, where we’re all so very imperturbably broad-minded and ecumenical, would offer even a peep of protest. Maybe some ACLU type would try to raise 1st Amendment questions, but overall I’d anticipate nearly unanimously positive, at worst indifferent reactions!
I don’t suppose that you might consider that it might be illegal fro the US military to pass out copies of the Quran………
