I don't see anything wrong with telling people about another way of viewing the afterlife. What's the harm in that? I do it all the time. Putting your message on a thing of value is even better. And the Qaran (or however you spell it) even says that Jesus was a Prophet on par with all the great prophets. So I don't see how the act, in and of itself is all that despicable.
However, to violate a direct order of your commanding officer is a risky proposition, which could result in loss of life outside of only your own. An order you signed up to follow, like it or not, is to protect your mission. God does not give you authority to go against that mission, at the expense of gambling with the lives of people who have nothing to do with your choice to send the message. So, I think the Marine screwed up, just like the kid who mentioned Jesus in her graduation speech and got her mic turned off. If she promised to give a speech in it's edited format, don't bring discredit on He whom you serve, to do something you promised not to do. After all, the disciples didn't promise to stop speaking about Christ in the temple. I say reassign him, not for being a Christian, but for being stupid and violating orders. I would say he should be court martialed and kicked out of the service. Then let him go back as a civilian and talk about Christ like the rest of the missionaries, who teach and preach without the safety of an M-16 and a Bradley fighting vehicle - if he feels that strongly about what he's saying.
