More middle-class persecution
Compare and contrast.
More than one in five Christians in the UK faces discrimination in their local communities because of their faith, a survey for a BBC programme suggests. The poll of 604 people describing themselves as Christian, for the Heaven and Earth show, also found 25% felt discriminated against by colleagues. One in three said the media portrayal of their religion was discriminatory.
Rev Malcolm Duncan, of campaign group Faithworks, said: "The Christian church is suffering more than all other faiths in the UK.
with:
Shortly after his baptism in 1999, Antoine was arrested. Angered by his conversion to Christ, local Muslims had reported him to the authorities. Antoine was severely beaten with batons and thick electrical wires. He was also pressured to sign a document renouncing his faith.
I don't think we have any right to complain about "suffering" in this country, as it cheapens the word for those who really are persecuted.
