Real cases? Yeah..I'd love to hear about how Christians have had their Bibles taken by force from the government. I'd love to hear about how the government is burning down Churches. Tell me all about how Christians are being publicly flogged for wearing symbols of their faith. If all you have for me is a couple of people who are p*ssed off because they are NOT allowed to control the public arena, you can keep it to yourself and hopefully feel ashamed for even trying to equate it to REAL persecution. Hurt feelings do not equal persecution. And FYI, I'm not being snotty...but I have zero tolerance for whining from people who've NEVER had to hide their faith for fear of death.

Some cases that are out there you would obviously dismiss because you think you know the truth from the news media reports (Free Republic people, while often criticizing the news media, believes it as a first source most of the time.), including the confiscation of, and razing of a church by the federal government. Most cases are yet much more subtle, however. But your tone indicates that the only thing that you would include as persecution would be very obvious brown shirt style activities by government troops or agents.
