ROFL......Well, in all fairness to Ilaine, when you read the sentence: 200,000 Christians were expelled from Tunisia in 1956, it's logical to first assume it was because they were Christians.

In fact, the writer of her article probably made the statement deliberately in the hopes of feeding into the right-wing fantasy of an underlying Holy War.

It's an insidious distortion of truth because the underlying statement is factual.
