"I have the right to address it as I see fit."
It is utter nonsense to discuss the persecution of any religion without being able to discuss the causes of religious persecution as a whole.
It is totally unprecedented that any members of this forum should take it upon themselves to prevent any aspect of the subject - Big Brother gone mad.
These threads should never be controlled in order to make them wailing walls to display signs of grief, without discussing the causes of that grief.
They should never be allowed to be soapboxes for inter-religious/race hate as they have often been in the hands of certain individuals.
Yes Boo-boo, we do know what certain people would like the intent of this thread to be - it doesn't work like that.
All religious persecution is evil - so is staying silent one form of persecution and attempting to censor any discussion on it, while deliberately using one form of persecution to persecute those of a different faith.
"Christian Persecution" by its very title has to include persecution by Christians.
Someone will be suggesting that Muslims persecute because Christians because of "cultural implants" - good heavens, what is the world coming to!!!
Don'tsuppose you'd like to have another bash at telling us your thoughts on the Christian Church persecuting children - (some of them Christian children included)
You "lost the battle" (if there is such a thing on a debating form) when you exposed your hypocrisy in refusing to respond to religious persecution because the persecutors were not your target - no other reason.
