Personally I pray that the persecution of CHristians stops and the persecution of Muslims by Christians in Bosnia stops. Nancy, You are definitely not in a position to determine who is being persecuted. You act as if Christians are being persecuted by Muslims and that's the whole story. Of course you couldn't believe there was persecution of Muslims by Christians, could you?? So you probably did not hear about the hate crimes that occurred last year in Colorado and California where several Muslim women were killed for wearing hijab (the covering of hair)? Or perhaps you can't believe anything if it doesn't agree with your faith. I can tell you first hand that you're totally incorrect in your belief that in Bosnia Christians are being persecuted. Have you not heard of the countless of Muslims being killed by Serbs? Perhaps you've heard of a land called Palestine where Soldiers are hitting Muslims daily with what they call "rubber bullets" but which seem to leave a daily death toll? But no, you can't believe in Persecution by Christians, can you?? Perhaps you don't view the U.S. attacks in Sudan and Afganistan as persecution of Muslims but that's only because of your bias view towards the U.S. Innocents Muslims were killed and injured in both attacks. Sudan is a country that exiled Osama bin Laden but apparently that wasn't enough for the U.S. to stop the bombings. Sudan is currently in a severe economic recession where finding a job is as good a chance as winning a lottery. And the factory destroyed by the U.S. employed 3000 workers. Now, those 3000 workers must live in poverty for they have no chance of finding work. The Unemployment rate in Sudan is more than 25%. The country is far too poor to defend itself. I suppose if we were to examine the situation in Ireland, it is evident that Christians are persecuting others. Or would you disagree with this obvious fact? Every religion has its extremists whether you'd like it or not, Nancy. And believe it or not, Christians are persecuting Muslims throughout the world (most notable Bosnia where many Muslims have fled to the US because of the persecution). If you wish to deny these facts, that's fine by me. But, you are only fooling yourself. Peace be Unto You, Norris
