Persecution occurs in nations where they are not the majority. So what's the point in naming these American allies?
Blatant human rights violations in US-operated prisons for WoT detainees, Hijab ban in Europe, Minaret ban in Switzerland... where does it stop? What image do you want to portray of the Western civilization? If Islam is intolerant according to you, then pray tell me what Western actions imply?
Stop the "tap dancing" by bringing in unrelated topics. What does technical training have to do with the rising hatred against Islam. You raised the topic of Christians being persecuted then brought in Iraq attacking Kuwait and now this.
Liberties are being attacked globally and the sooner we recognize that, the better. Unless we want to wait for the apocalyptic scenario of Muslims vs Christians vs Jews in a triangular-strangle.
Note: Kindly don't take my post negatively, Gambit. I'm just making my point that confrontation with Islam or Christianity or Judaism is not in anyone's interest. No community should have to lose liberties.
