Tariq Aziz is imprisoned at Camp Crocker. Some might call that living.

Another Christian is Hanan Ashrawi, the former chief spokesperson for the Palestinian delegation to the first Mideast Peace Talks.

Quote:
Christian churches in Egypt are not permitted any outward display of christian religious symbols.

etc.
Again, so what? These facts are only relevant if you're arguing that they disqualify Muslims - or some Muslims - from enjoying the religious freedom here that they deny Christians in their countries of origin.

We're supposed to be better than that.
