This week, ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd challenged evangelist Franklin Graham’s concerns about the persecution of Christians around the globe, calling it “overblown. A far worse problem is the persecution of Muslims right here in the United States.”
While the practice of Christianity is illegal in some Muslim countries and severely hampered in others, Muslims in the US openly attend mosques and pray in public without any officially sanctioned interference and little unofficial notice or impediments. While Muslim fanatics readily heed the Quran’s call to slaughter unbelievers who refuse to convert, there is no similar scriptural call for Christians to kill members of other faiths and Muslims are free to move about without being blown apart, shot, or beheaded by Christian zealots.
To Dowd, though, the absence of contemporary atrocities by Christians is “historically myopic. Let’s not forget that a thousand years ago popes called upon Christians to take back lands conquered by Muslims in that religion’s great era of expansion. As former President Obama pointed out, plenty of Muslims died at the hands of pious Christians during these ‘Crusades.’”
“The insidious signs of Muslim persecution in the US are evinced by the disapproving stares of Americans who disrespect their traditional garb, the extra scrutiny they get for merely repeating the words of their holy book, and the suspicion that their beliefs justifying jihad are dangerous and ‘unAmerican,’” Dowd maintained. “Being forced to endure an atmosphere of continual dread is crueler than a quick thrust of a beheader’s knife. So, yes, the horrors inflicted on Muslims in our country are worse than whatever has happened to Christians intruding on Muslim lands.”

First, we’ll chop off a couple of THOUSAND heads.
.......or so...............
Then, get back to me.
When we start burning the muslims in steel cages and beheading them in very large numbers then I’ll believe him. If the muslims were to take over he would be on the top of their list for beheading. The man is not only a fool but a suicidal maniac.
If they truly feel that way then GOOD!
I have finished dinner but I think that there is still a pork chop left. I'd better go and make sure that no one loses their eternal soul by eating it. ;-)
Strange, I don’t see Christians running around tossing homosexuals off tall buildings, gassing folks, beheading folks etc.
Islam, sucks.
There can never be too much persecution of mohammedans who live within my America.
THEY insist on THEIR laws, refusing to assimilate.
THEY insist in living in enclaves where THEY rule, chasing about attempting to enforce THEIR ways on years-established neighbors, like that pig farmer.
So, if THEY want to make MY America into the crudhole that THEY left, THEY can go right back there!
