Burning Qurans and Bibles - A contrast in Ideology

In 2009, a church in the U.S. saved and held fundraisers to afford the cost of buying and shipping Bibles in the Pashto and Dari language to an American sergeant in Afghanistan.
The Bibles were confiscated by military personnel, thrown away, and burned. Troops in war zones are required to "burn their trash," reported a Defense Department spokesman.
Where are are the Christians marching in the streets, burning flags, Qurans, and threatening violence? It's not there because that is not who we are.

The contrast in reactions speaks volumes.
