In no dire sense of the word are Christians "persecuted" in America. I think we are all big enough to accept the fact that we all hold our opinions of America's foundation, I'm not talking about original intent. Historically, America is a nation that was founded by Christians (starting from Plymouth), inhabited primarily by people who relate and claim to the judeo more important Christian tradition, and established as a country with it's underpinning that touch under the Judeo-Christian influence and beliefs. I've said all this before, so it may or may not be a dead horse to you, but what I've stated above isn't my point.

Historically this country has ties to Christianity, in the modern sense less and less directly and overtly, this is ofcourse due to a secular push in our country. My rantings in this thread mostly are stemmed from the fact that myself and others in the past arguments have pointed out about the reality of fanatical and fundamental Islam, whether in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iran, Pakistan, etc or the growth of Wahabism at large and the real and corporeal problem it poses in the world. Then people from the board who tend to be the more left leaning types jump up and assert it's not the majority and that by and large all muslims are great and good, which by the way you'll get no argument from me, and that there isn't a problem (again not really the point). But the catch is There have been some shots in this thread (and others) that have been taken at Christianity directly by people like Hardknock jhkayakr, and less overtly (but more regularly outside of this thread) by people like Filth, Host, CShine, and Shakran. Many of you broadly and widely assert that there is some great problem with the "Christian right" in America, equating them to some deviant and plotting evil group of bigots, and frankly to me at least it's getting old. Hope that clears some of it up, I'm distracted atm and am desperately trying to make sense out of my words in this rant.
