In Pakistan, things seem to be going from bad to worse for that country's tiny Christian minority. Now they are being blamed for US drone strikes.

Where are the charges of hate and bigotry about this situation? Is it not fascinating as we see case after case of persecution of Christians in Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, and other countries, persecution of Baha'i in Iran, Jews in Yemen, Christians and animists in Sudan, and Jews in Europe being assaulted and insulted on the streets by Muslim immigrants, here at home all we read from our own media are overblown charges of Islamophobia directed at those with the temerity to talk about the outrages overseas, to call out the true radicals in the US, and to critically discuss what sharia law in the West would mean to our freedoms.
In spite of the rhetoric, by and large, the American people have treated innocent, peaceful Muslims here admirably-as they should. Unfortunately, Muslim majorities in countries like the above have a dismal record in the way they treat their own religious minorities.
