For some reason, the notion of “suffering Christians” seems to resonate less with liberal hearts than “suffering Muslims.” Maybe Muslims are seen as more “exotic” or “misunderstood”; maybe it’s the fact that many liberals have contempt for fundamentalist Christians in America, with their anti-abortion and anti-gay positions..

Ping.

It’s all political.

Christians are seen as the base of the GOP. Therefore liberals must constantly demonize them and certainly not let any more of them into the country.
