I’ve read and reviewed a lot of young adult and dystopian fiction. I was asked, “Don’t you think it can be real? Don’t you see it becoming real?”
“Sure, in ISIS, Taliban, Boko Haram and other territories. ISIS had sex slaves AND Aunts. They all execute homosexuals and atheists. But it is insane to be afraid Christians are going to go jihadi.”
These liberal bullies don’t realize how cruel it is to smear Christians as wanna-be Taliban and then ignore or excuse the repeated Islamic oppression around the world.
Atwood based it on Islam, Communist China and Romania, Quakers and Puritans of the 1600’s.
