Well, that's a start....

Well, I thought the OP was about Christian persecution in America. Didn't consider that other nations persecute Christianity. But these nations also persecute more than just Christianity. China, for example, brutally suppressed Buddhism when they invaded Tibet.

And let's not forget that vast ammounts of persecution that Christianity has commited. Perhaps this just poetic justice.

"Christians and jews have been perscuted since the beginning of their religons.
Maybe some of these countrys are just trying to get the christians back for perscuting them...."

Are you suggesting that the Holocaust was justified?

Hitler's propaganda declared that the solution to Germany's problems - among others - was to get back at the jews for how he claimed they had corrupted and abused society.

Hitler thought he was getting back.

Do you want to "get back" against Christians? There seems to be a lot of spite in your tone. You can tell me if you do and we can talk about it. Did Hitler succeed in "getting back" too?

And of course Christians have NEVER persecuted anyone.

There has been plenty of wrong on all sides, including Christians persecuting Christians.

"There has been plenty of wrong on all sides, including Christians persecuting Christians."

But does this mean it is ok to "get back"?
