Look, I don't really care what you believe, as long as you leave me alone to believe what I believe.

But we didn't achieve this freedom on the basis of reason and logic, it took a fight, and we don't retain it without a fight, either.

Do I take it personally that non-Muslims are being killed all over the world just because they're not Muslims?

In the "advanced" country of Japan, "gaijen" (barbarians, or non-Japanese) have all sorts of laws against them, including the inability to own real property or to gain citizenship.

Which doesn't mean they don't face discrimination, but they can gain citizenship, own property and even become members of parliament.
