Well, I guess being insufficiently hostile to Muslims is persecution of Christians too.

2. It's like the old saying...
Christians believe that any persecution they're not engaging in is persecution against them.

Expand that a bit and you realize that a refusal to attack one group is a de facto attack on Christianity.

Thanks for the link.

7. That phrase deserves to be repeated:
"Christians believe that any persecution they're not engaging in is persecution against them."

Truly one of the wisest things I've ever read on DU.

5. i don't need a link.
i know what you're referring to and it's not an anomaly.
it's become a very common (ir)rationalization.

you can see it in almost every ground zero mosque thread.
