What you read is a biased author, as is today's trend to smear and attack Islam in any possible way

The western reader if he is not living in these countries he will believe in what is written and take a stand against Islam.

Go live in Egypt, in Jordan and in Syria, In Algiers, in Morocco,

Iraq before American invation was a haven for Christians. I lived among christians in my neighbourhood

and I can assure you they lived a very respectful and good life. No one stands against them.

You will not know until you visit one of these countries

and when I say christians , I am talking about native people of these countries.

In Palestine the Jews, Christians Muslims Arabs (because there are Arab Jews and Arab Christians and Arab Muslims lived in Palestine) before occupation of Palestine lived in harmony, Christians live in peaceful existence with the neighbouring Muslim, now under occupation the Christians are suffering what the Muslims are suffering , no difference.

In these countries I mentioned you will find christians hold high offices, such as ministers and embassadors

One of the richest people in the World is a coptic Egyptian who lives in Egypt. how can he reach such position if he has NO freedom.
