i THINK THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN MUSLIM COUNTRES. IN EGYPT MANY COPTIC CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY MUSLIM MURDERERS AND THEY ARE TREATED AS 3RD CLASS CITIZENS.

IN SAUDI ARABIA IT IS A CRIME TO EVEN BRING A BIBLE INTO THE COUNTRY MUCH LESS BUILD A CHURCH.

IN JORDAN NO CHURCHES CAN BE BUILT AND CHRISTIANS ARE PERSECUTED.

IN PAKISTAN THE FEW CHRISTIANS THAT EXIST HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING IN HIDING. MANY TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN HUNTED DOWN AND KILLED JUST FOR BEING CHRISTIAN.

AND YET MANY MUSLIMS MOVE TO THE WEST AND THEY EXPECT, NO THEY DEMAND THAT THEY BE ALLOWED TO BUILD MOSQUES AND CONVERT PEOPLE TO ISLAM.
