Oppression occurs all over the place.

Makes the odd newspaper report.

Some of it involves people with a loose affinity to westerners in terms of who they pray to.

Something must be done about it!

Some on this thread point out the issue with differentiating. Ah well, say the excited ones. You wouldn't say that if it was about gay bashing
Yawn.

The more I read the more I see hardwired bigotry. The fact the reported communities happen to be Christian is totally irrelevant. Their being different to the oppressors is the issue.

Unless you are pushing an agenda. Then the fact they are Christian as opposed to Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is all of a sudden important.

"Don't force us to accept women in top management roles because that would be persecuting us! " A bit like israeli actions. If you criticise their oppression of Palestinians you run the risk of being told you are anti semitic. Seems that gaining influence through guilt is a trick the Christian brethren are catching on to.

Why is the fact they are Christians important? It is a statistical certainty so what else are some on here trying to say? We make a special case? We deplore it more than any other cultural oppression?
