You recognize incorrectly! In the context of our discussion, for your hypothetical to prove her case, any persecution she suffers has to be because she is Christian and nothing else. In reality, many Islamic countries suffer from varying levels of intolerance that is equally applied to all their citizens. Saddam for example, might have ordered her execution, but his motives would not have been religious. This is why ilaine chickened out when I asked her if "protection" means to her beyond what the typical citizens of the country are afforded.

>> I recognize that you would be persecuted if you went to some monocultures and attempted to express or impose your views on the people who lived there. I would condemn such persecution and I do where it is a reality.
