[QUOTE="The Engineer, post: 62852735, member: 312716"] No, they are not. The USA, the most powerful (or second-most powerful, depends on how you view China) country in the world, is a Christian nation. Western Europe is mostly Christian, too, although I guess they are more secularized then America. What Merkel said about Christians being the most oppressed religion in the world [I]might[/I] be true, from a certain point of view. You just have to consider that most oppressed religious people are Christians (according to 'experts', I guess) without also considering that Christianity has more members than any other religion. Maybe there are 30 million oppressed Christians in the world, but that's not much if you compare it with the 950 million Christians who are [I]not[/I] being oppressed (I made this numbers up, but I guess using the real numbers wouldn't change much). From your article: What the author fails to consider is that Iraq has seen an insane amount of abuse since it started to manufacture chemical weapons (which no one has ever found). Of course people are being oppressed in during times of war, that's nothing special. If you have a problem with that, how about you stop starting wars? Are we talking about human rights here? Well, I'd rather not have my human rights defended by a violent bully who started at least one war under false premises, experimented on his own citizens without their consent and still tortures prisoners of war. The USA have a terrible human rights record for a western nation, and if you ask me, they should just shut the heck up about human rights until they have closed their secret prisons. [/QUOTE]
