: Thanks very much for pointing this out to me. As I said in my comments on that page, I'm surprised that was controversial. [[User:Wesley|Wesley]] 16:57, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

There are more than 50 Muslim countries in this world and you have mentioned only three of them - Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Turkey however is not "dominated by Islam" as you have suggested - though it is predominantly Muslim. And for your kind information, in Kosovo Christians also burned Mosques and killed Muslims in the same incident you are referring to. So the statement "In many countries dominated by Islam ..." is not at all a fare one - given your examples. The link you provided is merely a propaganda site and should not be cited as an example. I don't believe this source. However, if I take it for granted, then "Christians" are also persecuted in other parts of the world which is not a Muslim territory, i.e. Burma, Sri Lanka, Cuba, China, Vietnam, Mexico, Bolivia, India, Belarus, and many others. No one can guarantee the legitimacy of their accusations. I have not seen any of the news stories there, citing credible sources. So, you are definitely right - "not everything on the internet is true".

In this world, more Muslims are persecuted then Christians on a daily basis. This happens by the hands of Christian Russia, Jewish Israel and Hindu India. And should we not mention Iraqi civilians killed by "Christian" America? Should we forget the systematic killing of thousands and thousands of Muslims by Christians in the Balkan region? Unlike yours, these are not isolated events.

In Germany Muslims don't have rights to establish Mosques. In French schools Muslim girls are not allowed to wear hijab or head scarf. In the United States and some European countries Muslims are often victims of hate crimes. If you want propaganda links then I can provide. Blaming on each other can go on. I think it is not helpful for the wikipedia to cite examples of isolated events. If the claim has any significance at all then world media, which is of course predominantly Christian, will obviously focus on the issue. Then you will have no problem citing credible sources. Until then we should not mention such isolated examples. [[User:Hiwamy|Hiwamy]] 20:50, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
