Don't make mental leaps pete.

I know damn well that tolerance of non religious thoughts and deeds is lower to the point of being appalling in many countries where Islam is recognised as a state religion.
I am on record for, as an ex advisor at the Dept of Health, refusing to join a delegation looking at recognising medical school output in Saudi Arabia because of their gender clause. I have written to and signed petitions to FIFA regarding awarding the world cup to Qatar. Interestingly, Qatar Airways was cheaper than their neighbours Etihad when I went to Thailand earlier this month but on principle refused to give them my business.

Theocracy is to be resisted and the free world would raise its profile more if it refused to deal with savages.

However. .... Don't expect me to be grateful for the freedom to criticise religion where I feel appropriate. It isn't because Christian churches are tolerant, it's because society is tolerant of religions.

Keith. I had nothing better to do, pissing it down and couldn't get in the garden, so I reread some of your posts. I wanted to know if I was wrong and had been doing you a mis justice.

On reflection. I stand by my opinion that you are pushing an agenda. That the word Christian exercises you more than the word persecution. When I wonder why that could be, the only reasons are not nice. Not nice at all.
